i am just a bit annoyed (!!!) at folks that just don't seem to understand what we're doing in iraq.
since the current loss of life is still significantly less than the weekly national car accident toll... why ain't these idiots out protesting carmakers?

Altho they disagree with the Government and possibly the majority, they can do this without fear of death. One of the founding principles of our nation. I don't agree with the reasons we have decided to put young men and women's lives at risk, I 110% back those young men and women and their actions. If we must go to war, let it be Swift and let us be Victorious and let it be Final. 1 life is far too great a price to be paid to win a pissing contest.

iraq is using women and children as human shields, iraq has violated terms of geneva convention......where are the protesters??...... oh, i forgot, we never protest the enemy.

That's the beauty of our civilization, you're perfectly free to write, publish, say and shout your opinion from any street corner, no matter how wrong or stupid you are .
Just as long as it doesn't depict human affection of a sexual nature, that could land you in prison. However, graphic depiction of any other animals mating is permissible, and encouraged, as it is educational .

America was threatened by Iraq in no way , it was just plain ridiculous, it's a classic 'Angriffskrieg'

If you watch closely, a lot of the protestors are there out of guilt because our suffering is not high enough. The irony is if we weren't powerful enough to do a precision campaign and there were tens of thousands of casualties, the guilt factor wouldn't be as high and the protests probably wouldn't be there.
I'm with Marx on this one, you give people more than they need and they just ask for more.

Protest and civil disobedience is as American as apple pie. Get used to it.
-
Protest and civil disobedience are two different things . A lot of people in the USA fail to make that distinction .
As a citizen of the united states of america you do not have the right to block traffic, break windows of small businesses and start ****ing fires .
-
OK, have it your way- civil disobedience as used as a form of protest of Government policies is as American as apple pie.

Airhead I believe you are the author of my all time favorite line on this forum.
"We will never have equality in this country untill homosexuals can smoke crack and engage in sex on comercial airlines like heterosexuals do"
-
has anyone seen any Iraqi folks in the protest crowds?
I haven't
clarification: Iraqis in US/Europe protest crowds
-
Yes, large crowds in bagdad . Not surpisingly they are pro Hussien, he did get 100% of the popular vote afterall .

Thanks for the props Suave, I hoped you laughed as much when you read it as I did when I wrote it.
However, civil disobedience has been a part of the American landscape before we were an America even. The Boston Tea Party, for example. The Womens' Sufferage Movement. The Civil Rights marches. I get nervous when people start talking about doing away with this part of American culture.

Indeed, revolution is civil disobedience . Sometimes doing the right thing is disobeying an unjust law .

They have the right to protest and I have the right to bash their heads in if they come within 5 feet of my flailing arms :D
ever see the simpsons cartoon where bart punches the air and walks toward his sister, she kicks and does the same? both refusing to veer from their intended paths and due for a collision and fight? Its hilarious and its JUST how i would deal with the protesters! :)
get 2000 cops with battons and walk down the street the opersite way to these people swinging their nightsticks.
go on hangtime, cant you organise it for me???? :)

hazed, that's how you might have handled the protestors at the Boston Tea Party, too- and is why the colonists threw off the yoke of British oppression and tyranny. Thank you.
