DISQUS

Technically heckling would mean Medea would have been interacting or yelling in response. So she is correct. This was clearly a publicity stunt which most succesful political protests are. I don't understand why Laura feels so superior here. A peace activist and American citizen tries to get an audience with the Prime Minister of a country we are occupying is a legitimate and non violent thing to do.
I don't want to be a troll here. From what I've seen from the few posts I've checked out the tone is more reasonable. I'd like to get a dialogue going.

You think publicity stunts make for successful protests? From which history book are you reading? Laura feels so superior here because not even Laura believes she has a chance to get an audience with the PM of Iraq. Oh, and let's not forget - she snuck into the gallery with a democratic congresman's pass. That's above-the-board! NOT!

Again, I'm incredulous at your comment about citizens and "peace" activists getting audiences with PMs of other countries. I cannot believe you're serious.

The Boston Tea Party ia an excellent example. Yes I am serious, You don't think we have a right to reress our grievances to the government. Have you not heard of civil disobedience, sit ins, boycotts and marches are all part of the long history of American protests.
