According to the fucked up UN Human Rights Council, it's now an abusive of human rights to defame religion. We just went back to the dark ages. Thanks Pakistan, Belarus and Columbia!

Protests at the G20 summit

The photos are from the anti-capitalism protests at the latest G20 summit in London, pilfered from the Boston Globe's website.

Thousands of protesters gathered in London, England on April 1st and 2nd to demonstrate against an array of issues, largely anti-capitalist or pro-environmental in nature. A large underlying theme was anger with the effects of the economic downturn and a call for accountability and responsibility. While the majority of protesters were peaceful, a number of them took to smashing windows and throwing debris at police lines. London police responded with baton charges and arrests. Similar protests are now taking place in Strasbourg, France, which hosts a NATO summit today.

Protesting -- and the freedom to do so -- is a critical part of democracies. I can understand some of the reasons the protesters were out on the streets in London. Wanting a better world is always a good reason to protest. Wanting a more caring capitalist society -- always a good thing. Wanting to end capitalism and globalization? I'm in favour of dragging all those bastards who want that into the streets and beating the crap out of them -- because that is what they need.

Portraits from the Congo

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), fighting continues among various rebel armies, tribes, the Congolese army and U.N. forces. The dire situation has prompted the government of DR Congo to ask for help, and invite the armies of neighboring South Sudan, Rwanda and Uganda to enter their territory on several joint operations, to hunt down and pacify or dismantle at least two major rebel armies operating in the lawless border region. Rebel leader Laurent Nkunda was captured in January by Rwandan forces, but his army is still active - and Ugandan troops are seeking out the rebel Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army, which has taken refuge in eastern DR Congo. Once more, caught in all of this are the local civilians, terrorized by fleeing and advancing troops of all kinds. Reuters photographer Finbarr O'Reilly has been traveling through the area, capturing some amazing photographs of the people involved.
