About this pro-war, anti-peace protest.
I was thinking about the encouragement this no doubt gives Bush. I wonder if this moves up his timetable on when he invades the next country.

3. I am saddened and disgusted that people who call themselves
Americans rally around a war criminal and his war gone so terribly wrong. The rift in America goes beyond ideology. We are divided into those who think for themselves and the suckers who can be fooled all the time. God help us.

7. Vietnam chasm all over again

Guess nothing much changes; It's the same stupid f**king flag-waving dumbass chickenhawks who supported Vietnam. Oh, it is SO heartening to see the peace movement take off big time. We the people will end this catastrophe and the evil men & women that dragged us into this will, in one way or another, be made to pay. They will suffer lifetimes of nightmares for all the evil they've done and if there's an afterlife will have a higher power to answer to.

4. On some level he has be truthful with himself...
I can't see how this would encourage him unless he is insane. His poll numbers are lower than they have ever been and who knows what he and his neocons had to do to get anyone to attend the rally on their behalf. Pitiful.

14. Yeah, his polls are down. I'm more scared than angry now.
Bad things happen when his numbers drop. I was actually for the war. But not because I had any fear of Saadam or even WMD. I thought we should use a different strategy. Send in 30 six-man seal teams and let em stay in country for about 10 hours. I actually learned something from Viet Nam. Of all the reasons for loosing that war I have always thought it was the Napalm. Yeh, in my mind the Napalm did us in there. Is there anything so monsterous as the ones who ordered the Napalm.

yeh, there is, and these are them, and I bet they wish they had some Napalm

5. I was wondering about the phone calls
the pro-war people said were from soldiers in Iraq now telling Cindy to shut up and she is getting soldiers killed in Iraq. How do we know they were not made by Hee-Haw and Gomer from their cell phones in the porta potty? And how can Cindy be the cause of soldier's getting killed there? Who comes up with this stuff and do they think they are fooling us?

19. Re those phone calls... Maybe as real as incubator story from 91
There sure have been a lot of hoaxes uncovered. Would not expect this to be much different.

There may be some troops in Iraq moaning about Cindy, but they also do not get a lot of news that is not DOD approved.

Lots of guys in Viet Nam changed their minds after getting more facts than their commanders wanted them to have.

12. Him and what army?
Because ours is OCCUPYING elsewhere.

I just can't see him having the cajones to do it. But I never thot he'd go into Iraq, so I'm not a good person to ask about it.

22. I don't.
I'm convinced that sooner or later they will reinstate the draft. In effect, they have an indirect draft right now for those who lose their job and are unable to find another in a reasonable amount of time. After all, if you have a family and you can't find a job, you have to find income from somewhere. I've got a relative over there right now for that reason. :grr:

23. Sorry for your relative ...
I look at my HS-age son and wonder how many of his friends will get drafted if that is reinstated - of if he will? My fear is if the dems don't succeed in getting the congress back in '06, that the draft will be reinstated by that Christmas.

But I can't go there yet. There is still work to be done to prevent it.

24. The reinstatement of the draft
would be the best thing to ever happen for the peace movement. Apathy would evaporate.
