to LawrenceGramm:
I don't see weapons mentioned anywhere. I don't think you address any point in my post above.
to concernedgradstudent:
you can't debate because you have no logical points. any uninformed opinions are unfounded.
students are only part of the university. surely they have the right to be heard but not in this way. this is a riot!
you may choose not to work with the military but ICB has every right to collaborate with the army. you should learn to how to respect that.

what do the students know about ICB? they couldn't even name a single ongoing project. nobody is creating weapons in ICB, as a matter of fact.
the military funds many research projects. internet was one of them.
if the students really want to show their anti-war position, do some homework and at least know what they talk about. don't come out and show their ignorance.
do these cowards dare to do such nasty things in front of the white house, at a military base or los alamos national lab where research on nuclear weapons is going?
"quickly devouring anything edible", what a joke!

if you call any research that could be used in the military "weapon research", i can only say you are really ignorant about research or you choose to be ignorant in order to promote your opinions. why don't you try to shut down intel, boeing, raytheon (in town) or lockheed martin? their direct products are used in weapons. or maybe you can refuse to pay tax to make sure your money is not used in the war.
by the way, your logic in linking cancer research in ICB to "precision strike" is flawed. do you know the meaning of "could" and "influence"?
I'm not interested in justifying anything. it is the protesters who need to find the facts. I'm a researcher, and I know what I'm doing. i don't see anything wrong with weapon research on college campuses, let alone ICB is not doing any. this is a free country. if you don't like being here, go somewhere else. you have absolutely no right to disrupt a normal research conference.
hey, i deny that ICB is doing weapon research because I know/understand the research here. i'm not saying the war is morally correct. you got to find the right target to protest against. who makes the decision to have a war? use your brain.
