GBA News - The New Freeway Hall Community Center in Seattle, WA has long been a haven and meeting place for those on the leftist fringe. After all this is the meeting place for the "Seattle Radical Women" and the Freedom Socialist Party. Provocative and sometimes silly posters and banners are the norm in the large show window in front of the Hall. Prior to the recent Abortion March on Washington a sign graced their window informing passers by that this is the home of "Radical Feminists for Reproductive Freedom"

But in the past week the window dressing has taken on a more incendiary tone. Currently posted on the window facing bustling Rainier Avenue is a sign calling for "Victory to the Iraqi Resistance!" When asked about the sign, one local explained "this part of Seattle is very liberal and very easygoing; it would take a lot more than a sign like that to get this neighborhood's attention." But one neighbor disagreed telling us "I have to drive by that place every day, and to be honest I find it disgusting. For the Iraqi Resistance to win means that America would have to lose, it's like calling for the death of Americans. But they have the right to their opinion, that's what our soldiers are fighting for.

I thought that rooting for our enemies during war time was considered a crime. You know, an act of treason. Yes, I know. Free speech. But still, these guys are rooting for us to loose. They're rooting for our enemies to be successful in their military attacks on our forces. That means they're rooting for our soldiers to die. I think that should be a crime.

I wonder if they've ever considered that their right to hang sings like these up was won by and is protected by soldiers? The very soldiers they're rooting against with these signs.

I'm beginning to think that a year of Iraqi citizenship under Saddam Hussein should be a required rite-of-passage for some of these people.
