I can't believe that those idiots were burning the American flag. It is the symbol that grants them the freedom to do the very thing that they have the right to do.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police sprayed pepper spray to disperse demonstrators who hurled debris and tried to break through a security fence keeping protesters away from President Bush's inaugural parade on Thursday.
Several dozen protesters thronged toward the security fence, lobbing bottles, trash and snowballs at police, witnesses said. More than 100 police officers were at the scene where hundreds of protesters had gathered.
