Add to NewsvineI wonder if Iran would even let them in the country. Wouldn't this be the perfect way for us to sneak in CIA agents?
The Human Shield Movement has announced it reached its 10,000th pledge member. The lucky guy to sign on as a Human Shield Volunteer number ten thousand is Steven Morris from Birmingham. Morris has pledged to use his body as a “human shield” against an “attack on Iran” from “neo-con” President Bush.Would we even telegraph our move that far in advance to get the whole 10,000 there in time?Volunteers from 22 countries not from Iran have pledged to travel to the Middle Eastern country at a moment’s notice to place their “human shields” or in simpler terms, their bodies in front of civilian infrastructure in Iran in order to “prevent what they believe would be a catastrophic and unjustified attack” from the “warmonger” President Bush.
While we believe if there were to be such an attack it would be catastrophic, especially for the Human Shields, we’re not so sure it would be unjustified. We wondered if each of the Shields will be assigned large bold numbers for identification purposes if their worst case scenario is confirmed. We suggest each Human Shield also receive a form to fill out for future Honorary Darwin Awards.

"Last I looked, Iranians/Persians were Caucasians, part of the original Aryans, in fact. Hard to paint Aryans as "savage brown people"."
Caucasian actually refers to a body structure, not a skin tone. East Indians are also caucasians. "Aryan" is an ancient ethnicity, and while not extremely dark-skinned, most of them would have not have passed for white. They certainly weren't blue-eyed and blond.
Oops!

It would certainly be fun to announce our intention to attack a place (Somalia comes to mind), send the human shields in at government expense, and then procrastinate on attacking. We could even provide some helpful suggestions on where to place the human shields and perhaps reward their new host country for keeping them there!

How about we announce that we are going to bomb Somalia and then when they are there tell them that we changed our mind and we plan to bomb Iran just to mess with them.

how about we load the cannons up with warmongering conservatives first? tie them to our missiles wearing t-shirts that say "this one's for my boy-king bush"... maybe drop warmongering conservatives holding their propaganda leaflets over iran? without parachutes, of course.
that would be fun.
