independent personalities, announced the beginning of a voluntarism [campai=

foreign volunteers "who stated their willingness to become 'human shields' =
at installations and locations that may be targeted by the U.S. in the upco=

That looks like an idea…
100.000 anti-war activists from europe send to Iraq on Saddam's cost and pl=
aced around in different civilian objects in the country. And a website wit=
h exact location of every person - just in case Us Army wants to know who w=
ill they kill…
An ultimate 'mad scientist - style' net art project :)

After all there were several 100,000 civilians in Times Square on New Years=
and we could see how that ;ive broadcast prevented terrorists from attacki=
ng the Zionist/Capitalist skyscrapers.
But then again, the Bush administration would see that as a great cost cutt=
ing measure to arts/cultural welfare/grants.
And of course Saddam would also line up the activists around the "orphanage=
s" and "hospitals" that might have bio-weapons research labs in the baseme=
nts. After all, how would the activists know? And what irony to have all th=
ose anti-war activists defending a dictator's bio-warfare sites with their =
lives. The Age of Irony lives!
