1. They're in the streets because UK is spending 5 billion pounds a year there.

We spend more like 150 billion dollars a year on our wars, but not really a peep out of the peeples.

Go figure.

2. I don't agree

there is lots of dissent in America
Have you notices that the Iraq disaster is dramatically de-escalated??

3. Too many peeples are quiet out a misguided attempt to support the President. I support the President

but I think he is so wrong about this war. I would like to hear his reasons to keep it going.

4. I support the President, too. I just don't like any of his policies.

5. Hell of spot to be forced into, isn't it? No wonder he couldn't inspire a turnout for this last elec

tion. My party has forced me to vote for Dems for President, and Congress for the last two election cycles. As I Republican I voted for Cliton's second term. GOP principles are not familiar with Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, Pallin, Limbaugh, Beck and all those other so-called Republicans. I voted for Obama, not against McCane, I voted for Kerry, not against Bush.

Clinton was a good "Republican" President and I wish he could run again.
