There were peace demonstrations here (by the Germans).
We, of course, were forbidden to go.
I suppose it makes sense, since we might bear the brunt of some anger (they can't reach Bush but they can sure as hell reach US) but it's still irritating to be told that we can't go.

Well, I don't think they could do anything to ME (I'm a government employee, but I don't know if this was an order for ME or what) but my husband was given a direct order to avoid things like that. All the soldiers are. When the higher-ups get word of demonstrations in cities then we are all told not to GO to those cities during the demonstration times.
i remember going to a demonstration against a california nuke plant in 1980. a quarter of the protesters were marines in uniform from seal beach. it's things like that that tell you how much freedom we have lost in 20 years.
