Berkeley backs down from anti-Marines stance

The Berkeley City Council is still anti-war, but they repealed a resolution is passed last month that stated that a US Marines recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

Protesters, such as ThirdWaveDave, let the council know that there are other viewpoints besides their hard-left one.

UPDATE February 21: Upon closer review, I've discovered that all the council did was rule that they wouldn't send a letter to the Marines calling them "uninvited and unwelcome intruders.
