But that cowardly sniper over in MD is shooting randomly at innocent civilians, not someone who deserve to be shot like these people! Bad taste, I know. It's a free country, protest all you want!

Ah, another advocate of political murder!

I wish people would stop trying to rekindle the 60's anti-war BS. The only reason all those people were so for peace was they were so high on acid and having so much free sex they thought they were in Eutopia.

30-years later a bunch of whiny college kids are doing the same thing in the name of fashion. Give me a break. God forbid somebody blows up part of LA, what are these people going to do then?

Okay, If you are saying all the people who were against the Vietnam war were on drugs. Man that is the most head up the butt thing I have read in a long time.

It is amazing how the people who are supporting the war against Iraq sound like the people who supported the Vietnam war. Particularly the personal attacks against people who disagree with them. A couple of earlier posts advocated murdering people who are against the war!

It is not un-American to protest against goverment policy, in fact freedom of speech is in the Constitution.

Right, because you think they would do something like that in real life. Chill out buddy and understand no one wants political murders over a freakin' antiwar movement. You are taking things too seriously.

Now if they are using the protests against the Vietnam war as an example of the American Population rising up against a corrupt American Government fighting an illegal war then they are right on the money. It has nothing to do with a "Utopia" or "Free Sex" as your earlier statement concluded.

I would argue that 60% of the 60's protestors couldn't even find Vietnam on a map, much less be able to argue the intricacies of the war. I was not for 'nam, I am not for Iraq. But I base my political opinions off of experience, not from what MTV says.

I would argue that 95% of the anti-Vietnam war protesters knew that thousands of people were being killed and that thousands of Americans were returning to the US in wooden boxes for a war that was not justified to them

Please do some research about the US - Vietnam war.

Not all but a heck of a lot of them.

It's also not un-American to protest the protestors.

OK I have no problem with people protesting the possible military action against Saddam, But i Do question there ability to see clearly the fact in front of them. They are the same people who ask why we didn't stop 9/11. You really don't need to be a rhodes scholar to see that saddam is a madman bent on stockpiling WMD.

The anti war people claim this war is unnessisary and that non violent sulutions are availible. These solutions are sanctions and weapon inspections.

Sanctions didn't work and will continue to not work IF the entire world doesnot participate. Sanctions have slowed but not stopped the production of WMD.

Weapons Inspections have proven to be a farce and Even Saddam's newwest proposal to allow weapons inspectors is unacceptable as these inspectors would not have access to the Palaces that are believed to house these weapons. It would be like a drug runner saying you can search his entire car EXCEPT the trunk. However the media has only told us that Saddam has agreed to let the inspectors in not they they have yet to agree to let them do their jobs. Weapons inspections will only work IF the inspectors can see anywhere they want to. Saddam kicked them out because they were spies (they were) and he has never agreed to allow them to inspect everything Just were the weapons aren't.

For thoose who claim that George H Bush didn't finish the job he did. The job at hand was two fold. 1. Liberate Kuwait and 2. Put Saddams armies in a position so they could not attack again for at least ten years. That is what the UN approved and that is what we did. Saddam has been ammasing WMD and is getting closer to haveing a nuclear weapon with each passing month. The question with saddam isnot IF he will attack his neighbors or even us but when. Saddam Feels it is his right to control the entire middle east and see himself being the worlds oil supplier. With that he feels he could control the world. GWB has decided that the best course of action is to stop him BEFORE he get to the point where he could threten his neighbor or us. Saddams use of terror tactics with the funding of terrorist groups makes him an enemy NOW and one that we cannot afford to sit by and wait for the next shoe to dop on. At som point he will need to be dealt with and I am for doing it now instead of later when he has inflicted an attack on the US or one of our allies.
