Let me ask you this much, totally honestly: Why do the protesters think war is so bad? |

Because they're sheep and buy the party line?
If you endanger the lives of the United States military, you are a really dumb person. That's why there was such a show of force at breaking up this demonstration. Again, I got no sympathy. I've got a friend somewhere over there and I want to make sure he's well supplied to do his job so he can get the fuck back and start posting to the Cellar again. Anyone that puts that at risk, well, I've got no sympathy for you. |

Yup, it's ironic.

Did, uh, any civilians get killed in WWII? I can think of about six million of 'em just off the top of my head... If I've got to pick between some fugly bitch that went to protest by <b>interfering with the shipment of goods to soldiers overseas</b> and a man that has sworn to defend me at all costs, even if it means <b>turning his wife into a widow</b>... that's no choice at all. I appreciate protest, and if you'd done your homework, you'd know that I was never sold on this war. I am as skeptical as any rational being is about it. But interfering with military business in the time of war is about as smart as running in to Harlem with a sign that says "I Hate Niggers". You are just <b>asking</b> to get shot. There is a fine line, and I recommend that protestors respect that. They're able to voice their dissent because better men have sacrificed themselves for the good of the world. |

Bravo, Dave. And I would also like to go on record as saying that, although I was not 100% sold on the war, I am 100% sold on getting done what we set out to do and getting our people the hell out of Iraq. People who interfere with shipments of military materiel are attempting to screw up that process, and hence should expect to get hurt in the process. Their choice.
Now, can we all just get on with the business of wondering if GWB is going to just keep on chasing Saddam right into Syria? I will be even more dubious (Dubyaous?) of that possibility than I was of the current military excursion.

I did jack shit. It's hardly self-righteous. What it's called is <b>respect</b> and <b>thanks</b> for the men who didn't come home, that I can sit here and be an asshole without fear of being executed for having an unpopular opinion. If anything, I'd call your attitude self-righteous, for not recognizing the sacrifice many <b>better</b> men have made before you. |

OK, dave, you go on discussing WWII and your interpretation of what it taught us about war.
In the meantime, I'm sorry if I thought we were talking about the very current war. (only half sarcastic) Cheers, D |

My sincerest apologies that you were unable to comprehend the fact that I was talking about prior wars which supported freedom of speech. (completely sarcastic)

I do hope not all dissenting voices are treated like this back home. D (for depressed?) PS: My grandfather, one of the truely "better men", did fight in the war. Luckily he survived, and his stories haunt me to this day... |
