Six young people were arrested for disrupting Easter Mass at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago on Sunday. As an act of protest against the war in Iraq, the six people spilled fake blood on themselves and those surrounding them.

Actually, I don't think these people were protesting too much. However, I question why they would use the Roman Catholic Church as part of their protest. The Vatican was very public and active in expressing strong opposition to any action by the United States in Iraq. I understand that they wanted to get publicity. Unfortunately for them, their action received little coverage nationwide. I wouldn't want to give them any ideas, but it would have been better for them to have staged a protest involving an entity that is related to Barack Obama. Had they have done so, ALL of the major media outlets would still be covering the results of their actions.
