Jack,

Interesting post there. But, have you forgotten what exactly this war is about. Our troops HAVE NO CHOICE but to fight, they signed up, they will go, they have to go and that is that. There is no question as to our support of the troops, that is a dead given. BUT THAT DOES NOT mean that we have to support this war. Our president, secretary, and others in this administration want literally to run this government to the ground. We are already suffering the consequences of these actions. Look at all the new PROTECTION or ANTI-TERRISOM bills passed by our congress int he behest of 9/11. Think about it man, we, as americans, are not being listend to, we are being strained to the breaking point and our liberties and freedoms are being taken away. This protest is to ensure that the president understands the american view point, that not only we, but the entire world supports the anit-war sentiment that is abound here.

Jack, just think; if we goto war agains a UN resolution, what does that say: The united states is greater than the UN, what support will there be then? What issues will we, as a nation, face once this war is over. Can you cooly, and easily, sit on your couch, eating potato chips and sippin cola, smile and say that war is a good thing, when just 1 of those first 3500 bombs drop on iraq and kill a baby? If you can, then you are heartless enough to join most of those that want war.

But, if you are a human, and understand war, then you know that this must not happen. Our plans, as a national war referendum, will drop 3,500 bombs on iraq in the first 24 hours of the conflict. And they are on random targets.

The united states wants to wipe out iraq, not just its rulers, but its people. Why? What sence does it make? Well to bush and our administration, these people are wholy defiant of our views, of our 'moral-fundimental' rights, they must be removed as threats to our civilation.

Make sence to you? Probably not.

That is why we need anti-war rallies and referendums.

Look, listen and learn jack, it really is not a good thing to say that war is needed.

Zack.
