About the video (I didn't watch it): The idea of the child soldier is one of the most reprehensible in my mind. And the recruiting of impressionable minds in America will be doused by such cultural centers as this one in Lower Manhattan. That's the fucking irony of this whole thing (which now extends well beyond Lower Manhattan). The people are resisting the very thing that will combat what they're more concerned about: the same very forces behind 9/11. I just wish they'd open their eyes.
Anyway, I suppose I should reserve these thoughts for the thread on this topic.
