The desperation in the voices of the war lovers is frightening.

[Philosoraptor]

The ones who get all screamy about 'winning' the war and demanding that it go on forever, I hear them call into cspan and they scare me. I believe they are becoming dangerously unstable.

1. well, they are a fringe group

The country is pretty much united against the war, except for a few on the radical fringe like Bush, Lieberman & McCain.

2. What happened to the Democrat, Republican lines?

C-Span is obviously trying some new ways to get Republicans to call in. Yesterday, the first question was "Republicans Only".

[Cassandra]

11. They occasionally change the lines...

depending on the subject, particularly when the subject may not be as partisan as others. Perhaps they've finally noticed that when they have lines labeled Support Bush, only the terminally insane call in.

3. I think that there are alot of military personnel who have seen

friends lost who are not in the "radical fringe" who want us to see some sort of resolution that dosent involve sectarian madness.

[Hubert Flottz]

4. The sectarian madness has gone on there for 1,500 years.

Nobody cared until we needed the oil under their land.

5. Damn

I knew I was a pawn for someone I just couldnt remember what!!! THANK YOU!

7. The beast of the Mid East!

He thinks it's funny!



He's about the only one who can still afford to laugh!

8. I would think military people in general would think force works

Even if not used the force is there to see that it works. It is just the way these people think. Usually people who think we can talk it out are in the state dept. or the talking groups. Out side these two groups in the general pop. you have the same types and they just talk either about more talk or force. Cheney seems to be the leader in this. He did not fight and will not fight but loves the battle.

6. Have there been any polls on how Americans feel about Iran yet?

I've not seen any, war-wise that is (as in "would you support military action to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons?"). I'm curious to know how Americans are reacting to the latest propaganda.

9. The world can't help but wonder if the boys are crying wolf again.

When Bush greedily and stupidly blew America's credibility and standing in the world, by his silly lying, repeatedly and continuously, about Iraq...he compromised our national security. He weakened our country while we were under attack by real terrorists and he drained the treasury with his tax cuts in a time of war and then he claims if we democrats don't support his elective oil war in Iraq that WE are helping the enemy. The fact is that nobody has done more to harm America's ability to fight back more than George Bush and Dick Cheney.

You can have a beer with those two bastards if you want to, but I'm far more particular who I drink with and I don't drink with anyone who wants to wreck my country and leave it defenseless in the face of the real enemy. Bush could set down and talk to the heads of every country in the middle east and do far more good for the country than he ever will with his Texas Chainsaw diplomatic insanity. Does nobody in America notice the clusterfuck he has already created? The rest of the world has noticed! And it looks every day more like America could end up bombed flat like Germany did if we don't stop the PNAC!

[magellan]

10. It's a given how the rest of the world feels about it

They have access to the facts. I'm just curious how Americans are leaning, the general populous that suffers the US corporate media whores who are so determined to ratchet up fear against Iran. I wonder if they're believing the crap about inspectors being thrown out and so forth. Because I tuned into CNN when I got up yesterday and was appalled to hear that being reported without any mention of the fact that the IAEA are still allowed in and are doing their job. I wonder if Americans in general are buying it this time.

12. The sheeple are watching American Idol again...(out-FOXed)

And the brain dead Joes and Janes may pay for their closed mindedness and gullibility like the Germans did.

Well, we were warned about worshiping Idols, were we not?

Do you think China was trying to tell George something the other day when they shot that satellite down? Do you think China might whack out FOX's satellites if we whack out their oil supply in Iran?

I do think the democrats in congress are more on the ball this time. At least we do have some adult leadership again in congress.

13. "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing."

Quoth famed football coach Vince Lombardi.

I'm so sick of a segment of this country equating war and death with a football game (Superbowl comes to mind). All they can see is victory at any cost. It isn't over until we've "won". That means someone has to lose and give something up to the winner. Not to mention humiliation and a vow to have a rematch in the future. Didn't we learn from Germany after WWI that it isn't "over" until a county is so destroyed that it decides it's better to be an ally (or a puppet state) rather than challenge the great and mighty Empire.
