the Enola Gay -- beautifully refurbished and now
on display at the new Udvar-Hazy facility of the National Air & Space
Museum -- was damaged by some nut case from Ohio who threw something at
the
plane and dented it during a protest against the atomic bombing of Japan.

He was protesting something that happened three generations ago?

Aren't protests usually more effective if they're done *before* an
event takes place?

Didn't have any effect here last winter.

I think he wanted the protestor to take his argument to Harry Truman
in 1945.

(He was just barely old enough. As I recall the first news story, the
bottle thrower was 73.)

I was referring to the protests that preceded the Iraq invasion.

Nevertheless, the poster seemed to be referring to the earlier
incident: Little Boy.

The purpose of a protest is to protest. Nobody expects it to succeed!
Sheez. A whole generation spoiled rotten by the Vietnam War.
