"Clash of the Titans" Debate, Regent U, Va Beach
I think I may go, only because I'm about 3 minutes away :)

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.— The war in Iraq takes center stage at Regent University on Oct. 21 as four heavy-hitters in American culture and politics engage in verbal combat in Regent’s third annual Clash of the Titans™ debate.

Both sides of the political spectrum will tackle the question, “Is the Bush strategy working in Iraq?” Arguing for the strategy will be Newt Gingrich and Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North from the right. Arguing against the strategy will be General Wesley Clark and Paul Begala from the left. NBC News and MSNBC anchor Forrest Sawyer will serve as moderator.

The event will begin at 3:30 p.m., Oct. 21, on the main stage theatre in Regent’s Communication & Performing Arts Center, and will be followed by a V.I.P. reception and dinner in the Library Atrium.

As time goes on and casualties mount, more questions are being raised about President George W. Bush’s strategy in Iraq. Critics of the president’s plan say there is no end in sight, even drawing parallels with Vietnam. Supporters say that nation-building takes time, and that we are gradually building trust with the Iraqi people.

1. Why don't we get a group and go. Once we are in and at the end
of the debate we could take out our anti-war banner or something like that?

2. There are a few of us in South Hampton Roads !
That would be fun, but would Pat Robertson's goon squad come after us?
