Pastimes : No to WTO! Seattle 1999 -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Seems to me you rabble rousers jumped the gun. Why not let the ministers work out an agenda with any of your legitimate concerns noted? Why disrupt a productive session?

Seems to me your problem should be that the US is participating in the WTO. Why not demonstrate in front of the White House?

Oh, I forgot, the Seattle party scene is better!

Party! Party! Party!

Opioi, you aren't looking at this objectively. They were given a day to protest peacefully and they blew it. Clinton supposedly even had plans to meet with the protestors, but they blew it! Not that I think it would have mattered, Clinton wants the WTO to go through. The whole point is, they got violent, out of control. That is a big no-no. If violence hadn't broken out, they would have been allowed to continue.
