No, this wasn't written by the Onion:

Violence mars anti-war rally
Brussels - A protest against war in Iraq turned violent on Sunday in Brussels when dozens of youths clashed with police and attacked American-owned businesses.

Up to 100 masked rioters, many of them of Arab origin, broke away from the main body of other antiwar protesters who were marching through the city centre

Normally, I have the utmost respect for misguided peaceniks that are delusional enough to think that peace can be obtained through written agreements rather than forceful deterrence. However, I rescind that respect when they march along side masked militants whose sole agenda is to loot, riot, and wreak havoc on society.

There is a point in time when these people need to look at what they are doing, and realize that riots* are not a proper form of protest. If they want to protest, fine, but they should have the responsibility of making sure rioters aren't invited.

*I refuse to use the PC term 'civil disobedience'. Someone refusing to pooper-scooper their dog is practicing civil disobedience. Someone throwing cinder blocks through shop windows and hitting police with rocks and bottles is rioting.
