It doesn't matter what your stance on the war was, it was to make a point.
I always found the concept of an 'illegal' war asinine. No war is legal ever. Legality is not something that applies to war.
Much like the idea of a legitimate or illegitimate protest. It was a protest and it was a crime. I'm not sure what an illegitimate protest would entail, they could have blown up the ship and it still would have been a protest, and a crime. The two do not meld.
If you could give me an example of a illegitimate protest maybe we could get some where since criminal activity obviously doesn't make a protest illegitimate in your eyes.
