I think Anti-War protestors can be hypocritical if they are violent. If they proclaim they stand for peace but cause violence and chaos, they aren't being patriotic because they're misrepresenting part of their country.  |

I'm one too. I protest in Cleveland. I don't want to go to war at all. "Support our troops bring them home." Love,  |
| Date: 3/23/2003 5:27:00 PM From Authorid: 51817 i think that the protesters are very patriotic, if this turns into a nuclear war we could attacked by other countries who loose people from the radiation of our bombs, to stop us from bombing them could prevent other countries from bombing us and the protesters are out there taking beatings from the people they're trying to stop just to bring peace |

I am a anti-war protestor and I think Bush needs to pick up a gun and go hunt for Saddam himself instead of sitting behind a desk making decisions based on what his advisors think and not the voice of his people instead of putting our soldiers in danger for a cause that we had no justification to create. That is just my opinion and I respect yours but don't flame be because of my freedom of speech and rights to a opinion...  |

protestors stand for what they believe in and no one should make them change their beliefs. It is something they have to do for themselves even if people get hurt in the process. Instead of hurting each other we should get the one who is *supposed* to be protecting us. America is growing weaker and loosing its respect and power with every decision Bush makes. |

Vampire Kiss, I totally disagree. Bush is in no way responsible for the actions of uniformed, irrational people trying to defend a cause in a violent way. He didn't choose to go to war, Saddam did. People seem to forget who it was that didn't abide by the U.N.'s sanction (1441) and refused to disarm himself. Saddam refused all efforts and patience of Bush and our government. Saddam even refused the opportunity to go into exile, which is better then he deserves. He belongs in Hell. |

Do any of you truly know what Saddam, his sons and his Regime are guilty of? It doesn't appear that way. Looking the other way is what people do when they are either uneducated on a subject or not willing to stand up for those being victimized. Very sad. |

::Stacy::--saddam didn't choose to go to war we forced it. Bush had no right to force Saddam out of his own Country, all we are doing is putting ourselfs in a predictament that we can't handle. ::Ashley/Vampire Kiss::--- We have no proof that he had nuclear weapons and even if Saddam made it hard for us to look, I would have done the same thing in his place. Now I know Saddam is a bad man and shouldn't be in power but we have no jurisdiction to do what we did and we are loosing the alliances of what few countries we had supporting us. If we could force ourselves upon Saddam and his weapons what makes it different of him to us and who knows what they would find in our government. |

truth is nobody knows anything. We can say we do from what we have heard but most has been twisted into many different webs of stories. I am just saying what I believe and you are saying what you believe. Nothing you can say can change my opinions and I expect nothing I can say can change yours. See what I mean. We are turning against each other in violent heated arguements when we should be reaching out in peace and unity. |

you choose, being someonen against the war, i can say that i am aware of what saddam has done to "his own", but i do have to say that america helped that cause by promising support to those that tried to uprise against him (and we did not) ... thus the reason they were gassed ... i am also aware of the sanctions that the u.n. had placed on the iraqi people, and i am aware of the food for oil program implemented (giving the MAIN SOURCE OF FOOD for millions of iraqi's), so by no means can america and the u.n. say that their hands are clean in the treating of the iraqi people .... i am not trying to de-emphasize what saddam has done, but i am just saying that america isn't guilt free, and thus really cannot be taken seriously when saying its for THEIR own good ....  |

the thing that get me,is my didnt either the world government or the U.S. and Allies just sent some specially trained assassins to go and kill Saddam,his two sons,and mabye most of his regmine instead of giving him 48 hours warning,knowing he might go and be prepared or go hide like a weak man. |

"Support our Troops--but only those who Frag their commanding officer". This from the peace-loving, patriotic, anti-war folks at Indymedia who organize many of the anti-war demonstrations..You can see why some might find stuff like this offensive if not downright unpatriotic. I won't give out Indymedias web address, but a simple google search should send you straight there and you can read the charming posts by peace-lovers. You can also understand why many really don't see anti-war people as being anti-war per se, but really anti-Bush and anti-American, if you read the signs at many of the rallies. People don't seem really serious, especially when Clinton went to Bosnia without UN approval...not a peep was heard from peace-lovers the world over.  |

What is the point in debating on this over and over again? Everyone here has a different opinion and thought on the war and on Bush. We are not gonna wake up one day and all agree. It is good to have different opinions, but this dog has been beat into the ground, shot, ran over, and burned. Let us just pray for our troops, pray for the war to end fast and sucessful, and peace for our world. No matter what my opinion is about the war or Bush, the only thing that matters is that I love my country, I support our troops, and that I try to be the best American that I can be. God bless you all, and I am PROUD to be an AMEIRCAN!  |

There are those out there that are truly against war and who don't think it is all a conspiracy to get more oil or some such nonsense. It just seems that way, in the fashion the media portrays the protestors. Seems the idiots who are vandalizing the streets in the name of peace get all the press I should say, and there is a large majority of anti war protesters that are members of communist groups (you find this out if you check out WHO sponsors these protests). I grew up in a church that had true pacifist convictions, not due to any political affliations, but because they truly believed WAR, any war is wrong. But members loved there country and served as medics or in hospitals..they didn't go into the street with signs portraying the president as Hitler or have naked protests or do other disgusting things I won't even bother repeating here. I can respect a true pacifist. I'm not completly convinced there are all that many out there, just people with other agendas. |

There are cases when protesting is effective. For me, patriotism is not the issue; the issue is the substance of the disagreement. [Some are protesting the actions of a Republican president, not the war itself.] By the way, I'm curious to know if you think there are circumstances in which war is necessary.  |

It really is not a question of being patriotic, it is a question of having valued reasons behind your point of view.If you can back your argument 100 % with facts and figures, and not just blinded rhetoric, than you will get respect for your points of view, regardles which side you stand behind.  |

you can be as patriotic as you want. However by being anti war and protesting against getting rid of a menace who wants to see you dead and will do anything to make that happen is either a suicidal tendency you have or simply based on your ignorance of facts. Yesterday aur soldiers found a 100 acre chemical plant making chemicals of mass destruction in Iraq. those chemicals were being made to use against you and your family and friends. But go ahead and protest. that is why many american soldiers have died to give you the right to do so. A right, by the way, thsat you can only exercize freely in America. Orf course you are patriotic. You are giving american soldiers something to die for. Gotta love you thiugh.  |
| Date: 3/24/2003 6:47:00 AM From Authorid: 61923 I don't think it is unpatriotic, but I do think it is very hypocritical when those protests become riots which they often do, but in those cases, the ones who start them are for anarky and don't share the same idea of protest as the other protestors. Do I agree with your current stance on the war? No. I believe that we should be there, but I respect the ideas of others and your right to protest. That is what makes this country great. |

And I so hope that they return home soon and safely. I'm not unpatriotic I just think this war wasn't though out well and the ramifications of it will be much worse that Bush thinks.  |

SexxxyPenguin: No offense but I disagree with you on most of your comments. I do agree with you that no country is guiltless. No one is perfect but we are a heck of a lot closer to it, then Saddam, his sons and their Regime will ever be. If everyone is so informed about Saddam and how he's treated his people and those bordering his country, they'd know that we are doing the right thing. To turn and look the other way because it's not our business, or we may lose allies, or our economy....blah,blah,blah, that's pure selfishness. American is supposed to represent freedom, unity and democracy for ALL. We are also supposed to help "ALL" others less fortunate or in horrific situations, regardless of nationality. The Iraqi people more then fit this criteria. If we turn our backs on them, we are nothing but selfish hypocrits. |

None of us want war or like war but sometimes it is necessary. Because of war we have American independence, end of slavery, and defeated Nazism and communism. We cannot not let this man just sit there laughing at the world while getting stronger. Our country was bombed and if we do nothing it will keep getting worse.  |
