The Regular Schmoes Strike Back

The Regular Schmoes Strike Back - The media lavished much attention on the worldwide series of "peace" rallies last month.

You'd never know about the growing series of pro-America, pro-liberation rallies that are breaking out around the world from watching the media. So I guess it's up to the blogosphere and talkradio to tell you about:

• This rally in Florida
  
• Or this one in Cleveland.
  
• Or this one in Houston.
  
• Or, of course, Nashville.
  
• And - this is encouraging - Seoul, where the majority that has some concept of life under a stalinist regime is taking time out from their day jobs to speak out.
  
• And, for that matter, Rome
  
• And, although we tend to ignore it, the Phiippines:

  At the pro-US rally, about 200 Zamboanga residents thanked the US soldiers and asked them to stay longer.

  "We love America," one placard read, with others slamming the anti-US group, while a band played American pop songs.

  Various victims of the Abu Sayyaf gang declared their support for the US presence.

  "We need (the US troops) here for the meantime," said Lydia Ibanez, a Basilan resident whose husband was among about a dozen Filipino farmers kidnapped and beheaded by the Abu Sayyaf last year.

  "They have helped us a lot," she said in tears.

  An elderly woman, Gliceria Ramirez, recalled the Abu Sayyaf "killed my two children. They chopped off their heads."

  "If (the Americans) go, the rebels will come again and harm us."

  "We want US troops to join the Filipinos in combatting the Abu Sayyaf," she added. - Nampa-AFP

So we're not completely alone out there.
