Humor, sure, they are funny in that not one could give a good answer to the questions posed.

What I meant was, these are choice cuts to show off the most stupid and tepid minded. Any good, clear answers would be edited out. Its not that "not one" could give a good answer, its that good answers werent used for this video.

If Triumph the comic insult dog was doing the interviewing, it would have been humor. This was simply a factual documentary of stupidity on parade.

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.

Actually, I think the intent and focus during the questioning and editting process would be the exact same, like I said, I hope you understand this to be humor.

Well then, feel free to provide a link to a site where the protesters' arguments are made without the "editing" process you speak of, and let's compare the differences in how they craft their points. I'm most anxious to see how the smarter protesters structure their arguments against the war and how they would answer the same questions the interviewer did.

Great, you give me good clear answers to the questions asked.

1) What is the answer to disarming Saddam?

2) How long should the inspections continue?

3) In the past has the world community lived up to it's responsibility to deal with Saddam?

4) If it is all about oil, why didn't we keep the oil fields in 1991?

5) Do you believe that Saddam has chemical or biological weapons?

6) How would you compare Pres. Bush to Hitler?

I just have to ask: do these dumb@$$ protestors really think protesting the war will make Bush change his mind and not go to war? What the hell are they wasting their time for

I bet that many people did give good answers, but through the wonderful world of editing they showed the funniest out of everything they taped, are you always oblivious to the obvious?

I'm sure they did, feel free to add your 'good' answers to the questions I listed above.

edit/
I'd like to add one question.

If we go with the inspection route and declare Iraq free of all chemical and biological weapons and then leave. What is to stop Saddam from just rearming? He still has the scientists that know how to make them. If sanctions are dropped he will have billions of dollars to invest in them. What is the answer?

1) War or force him out of the country

2) Start looking for stuff once there's new leadership

3) somewhat in Desert Storm, but not as a whole

4) I don't know... we should have.

5) Yep ... unless the kurds were bombing themselves.

6) Well, they are both white guys.

Granted, I'm not a protestor so my answers may differ from those that would be given by those protesting ;)

you must not be looking very hard, these are the biggest pre war anti-war protests ever. Do you think so many millions of people would rally around the cause if there weren't good arguments? why would they?

Because as this video just showed, they are clueless tools. Or as Lenin used to say, "useful idiots."

Nothing better to do.......I mean come on....what else is a burnt out hippie going to do these days besides protest a war? It's not like Cheech & Chong are making movies these days and need extras.

As for the younger ones.....well.....they are just idiots trying to feel like they made a difference instead of actually doing something with their lives.

I don't know, why did thousands list "jedi" as their religion in the UK census?

So? What are the good arguments? What are your answers to the questions?
