NO NEW WARS! MARCH ON THE NEOCONS
Organized by Ad Hoc Group of Activists
At American Enterprise Institute and Project for a New American Century
(which in a 2000 paper wrote about the transformation to a more aggressive American foreign policy:
"the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing even – like a new Pearl Harbor.")
At Washington Institute for Near East Policy
50 people protested outside of:
**American Enterprise Institute and the Project for a New American Century 1150 17th Street
** Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies 1740 Massachusetts Ave. NW;
**An unscheduled stop at American Assoc. of Broadcasters to protest corporate media
** Washington Institute for Near East Policy 1828 L Street NW;
** Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies 1020 16th St. NW.

The mostly out-of-town young crowd were more rowdy and spontaneous than we'd originally planned, but who can stop these kids today?? (Three times someone or other set off fire alarms in the buildings! Maybe security? Oi!!)
At least NEOCONS know that we are paying attention and not just blaming the oil companies!!
Some good lessons learned for doing more effective protests against them as they plan their next war -- on Iran!!
After all, we do have a right to go up in groups of 5 or 6 and ask for a meeting with their top people to discuss why they are trying to destroy America in the inevitable world nuclear war their aggression will bring about... !
