Protests come in all forms. One of the most creative we've come across is the campaign called Rooting Out Evil. In opposition to the development, storage and use of weapons of mass destruction by any country, this Canadian-based group is sending weapons inspectors to the United States (yes, really!).

According to their website, they have selected the U.S. as their first priority based on the criteria provided by the Bush administration, which states that the most dangerous states are those run by leaders who:

1) have massive stockpiles of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons;

2) ignore due process at the United Nations;

3) refuse to sign and honor international treaties; and

4) have come to power through illegitimate means.

The current US administration fulfills all these criteria. And so, again following Bush’s guidelines, Rooting Out Evil is demanding that his administration allow immediate and unfettered access to international weapons inspectors to search out their caches of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.

Volunteer inspectors from all over the world are massing in Maryland on February 23rd to inspect the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center. Other inspections are in the planning stages.
