My understanding is everyone in the US has a right to "Demonstrate" for or against anything. Officials are required by our Constitution and laws to accept out demands. (Here in Central Ohio, they even did what the demonstrators wanted: Proclamations to stop fighting in the Middle East) But then they won't go away after they got what they wanted.

No town council, college board of regents, Police chief, or dog walker in the United States of America has the ability to FORCE our will on another country!

I believe most of this is an effort to be seen for matters of personal gain! Even if it is only to score with the "movement's" members of the opposite sex. Or possibly a future leadership position in that community.

OK we heard you. Get up, go home, and get of my lawn! You have won all there is we can do for you!
