My 1st reaction to this image was one of suprise. Then I realised that if I were in the Iraqis position I would harbor some pretty hostile feelings towards people who are putting themselves in the line of fire to try and prevent a war movement that will inevitably liberate me and my people. These "human shields" just decided that they didn't think war was the right answer but they offered no alternative, just chose to stick their noses in where they were not wanted. Some may call them noble, and honerable but I personally reckon they were just caught up in the anti-war protests and the 'righteousness' of it all. They thought "war is wrong - now i'm gonna do something about it" I don't think they really understood what the Iraqi people wanted, nor did they care.
