Assuming there were any "good answers." I went to a protest here....well actually we went and protested the protestors.....last week and when we tried talking/debating with them we pretty much got the same sort of answers from everyone on the anti-war side as this guy did.

Did you or the producer of the film talk to everyone at the protest?

It's sort of a sad argument when you say that you have to talk to EVERYONE at a protest to guarantee one of them has an intelligent answer. What's wrong with just talking to random people? Do you think the "dumb" protestors are mysteriously separated from the "smart" protestors who have all the answers? How many Anti-Anti-war people (I'm not calling them Pro-war) would you have to talk to before you got some real, tangible answers? I'm guessing less than the number of people interviewed in the video, and less than the number of people Shinerburke talked to.

It's a shame that all these smart people who had all the intelligent answers as you suggest didn't talk to the opposing side, and I have no clue why they wouldn't... and that you haven't really brought up any answers yourself.

So we'll talk to you. What are your answers?
