In Olympia, Washington, some peaceniks have tried to block the military sending supplies to Iraq
Hmmm ... I think the operative word here is "tried" as in they "tried to block" the shipment during their little demonstration. Did they succeed? Apparently not. Best to not run them over, as, regardless of how stupid their actions are or how much fun you think it would be to run them down, that sort of action would undoubtably backfire upon the military. They may be fuckwads, but killing them just because they are fuckwads we don't like is not ethical under our American way of life.
It would be under Sharia Law or Facist rule. It also is the rule of the day under Chavez, too (see here:

We do have those who do such things (killing doctors, etc.) but, by and large, our general public does not. I, for one, am glad for that, even though I disagree with the actions of the protesters. I have no intention of living in that sort of society.
I'm sure you'll argue this point some more. Good luck with that.
Woof! - Scott
