But you're arguing they are conducive to war, that they're "causing tension and disharmony in the west." That's not true. They are responding to "disharmony" in the global system, typically in the way peace-loving people would. If that's not of value to fostering peace, I don't know what is.
Quote:
I believe their reasons for protesting are basically more based on a personal little ego trip, than any real concerns.
I didn't say opposing war itself is self centred, just the reasons they are really doing it for.
It basically has to be controversial to attract their enthusiasm and politically correct also,
For instance if they really cared that much about human rights, then wheres the protests against Mugabe or when Rwanda was happening.
Or how South Africa has now turned into a new racist country, but against whites.
Tibet was like yawn until china got involved with the Olympics, then it became interesting enough for them.

That's the thing, isn't it? If you're hevaily involved in one struggle then you're a single-issue isolationist. However, if you speak on a manner of issues then you're just some trendy dupe.
