Title: Demonstrations Post by Bob P on Mar 21st, 2003, 8:57am These people are way out of line! Granted, The Bill Of Rights grants them freedom of speech (right after it says the Govt. shall make no rules regarding religion). It also grants them the right to "peaceably assemble". That's cool. Gather in the parks or in the meeting halls to voice their opinion. When they disrupt the civil peace; when they block traffic or take any other actions which require the police to respond, they become aides to terrorism. Especially at a time of raised terrorist threat, they pull law enforcement from their jobs of being watchful of terrorism in order to respond to their civil disobedience, leaving the country more vulnerable. Also know that a lot of our soldiers in the gulf have access to TV. They see this on the news. Regardless of what they say about it not bothering them, it does. It eats at their morale. I know. Now is not the time for disobedience. These people need to keep themselves in check. Just my thoughts for this morning. |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by Riccardo on Mar 21st, 2003, 9:37am Just one question to those people: You're against the war and the violence. OK.... and why do you demonstrate with violence, fists, bad words and delinquent acts? |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by Bob P on Mar 21st, 2003, 10:27am To be fair to the protestors I have to say that it appears to me that a majority of the rowdy ones are the young ones. Teenagers who want to shout and disrupt. I get the feeling they are there to be part of a demonstration (or in their heads a riot) and not so committed to the cause of the demonstration. It is a shame. The pro-troops demonstrations are peaceful, the peace demonstrations are violent. Go figure. |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by echo on Mar 21st, 2003, 10:41am There was a demonstration here in the burbs of KC with a large group of 14 and 15 year olds. When the reporters started questioning the youths none of the ones interviewed had a clue as to what they were truly demonstrating against. Two of them were stating their extreme displeasure against our (US) bombing of Saudi Arabia, one of them was shocked by the bombing of innocent Libians. Their lack of knowledge for that which they demonstated really pissed me off! Our future "clueless" leaders. |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by CathiP on Mar 21st, 2003, 12:39pm Portland, OR had about 2000 demonstrators- most looked to be adults.....funny thing, though, these are the same people who will be furious to find out there is even LESS $$ in the coffers to pay for, oh, let's see, EDUCATION?- just one example of our needs here- but, how much do you think these demonstrations cost? Police manpower costs $$$. WHO PAYS? Add to the equation the broken windows, damaged cars....and the CLEANUP!! They haven't succeded in stopping the war, but they might have broken the back, fiscally, of the city of Portland. Rather than jail them, let's divvy up the bills they caused, and squeeze it out of them. It is also interesting that they found it necessary to impede traffic, threatening cars of people just trying to get home from a day at work. Can you tell me how it is helpful to create chaos(and violence) in order to effect peace? Cathi |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by BobG on Mar 21st, 2003, 1:47pm Bob P is right about our troops having TV and can see the demonstrations taking place all over the world. It doesn't help their morale. Even worse is that the Iraqi soldiers can also see American TV. They are watching CNN and the bombing of Bagdad at this moment. They are also able to watch the demonstrations in American cities. They see the American people yelling and fighting. This is a tremendous boost for the enemy morale. Why do ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and all the other news groups show the very small persent of anti-war Americans and their crap. IT SELLS. FOLLOW THE MONEY! |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by jonny on Mar 21st, 2003, 3:26pm Ralph White, a Marine who came home from the Korean War with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star, was standing outside his Beacon Street office yesterday afternoon, watching protesters approach, feeling his anger rising. Above is all I could copy/paste from an article from yesterdays Boston Herald. Turns out that he gave the protesters the thumbs down and when some 20 something kid walked up to him and gave him the finger ole Ralphie boy sucker punched him and sent him on his ass, the kid got up and they went at it till the cops came and broke it up. Cops asked Ralph if he wanted to press charges and he said "No, but I would like another piece of him" Ole Ralphie is 71 years old. (Vet's Rock!!!) .............................jonny |

Nevertheless, it’s not only liberals who have doubts about Homeland Security. While Tom Ridge is actually a very nice guy, this thing has opened us up to the likes of John Ashcroft. There is no one who has so little faith in what this country stands for, than Ashcroft. This is the guy that spent several thousand dollars of our money to put a drapery over what he considers "Lewd" sculpture at the Justice Department. Here is a man, George Bush appointed to appease the Pat Roberston crowd in the once great GOP. John Ashcroft’s idea of justice is terrifying. Charlie |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by Bob P on Mar 23rd, 2003, 10:40am Den, No hard feelings. I respect your opinion. I too have some mixed feelings on this war. Am I pro war? Hell no! http://www.pahlow.net/nam/saga_continues.htm Am I pro troops? Hell yes? Why mixed feelings? Well this thing started as a protective measure for the US. Get Sadam's WMD. Somewhere along the line it changed to "liberate Iraq". Hence operation Iraq Freedom. I think we should have gone in to get the WMD. I hope we were damn sure he had them. Should we have gone in to liberate Iraq? Nope. Not our business how their government was run as long as it didn't threaten us. Is it about oil? Yes, somewhat. That's why we were so quick to secure the oil fields and facilites. Not oil so Dubya can let his buddies get rich though. Ya see, the Geneva Convention requires that if we occupy more than 10% of the country, we have to rebuild/repair the damage. How are we gonna pay for it? With our tax dollars? Nope. With the sale of Iraq oil? Yep. I don't have a problem with this. To the victor belong the spoils. I just hope that after the bill is paid, the Iraqies get their oil back to build a better place for themselves. A side benefit. Will this help our economy? Yep. Who's gonna get the contracts to rebuild the place? British and American companies of course. Again I hope this wasn't THE main determining factor in starting this war. I hope it was WMD. I did find it ammusing that one of the NY protestors, a little old lady, was so disgusted that we were already letting contracts to American companies to do this rebuilding. What did she think, we were gonna hire other countries to do it? Pro war - no. Pro troops - yes. About oil - somewhat. Because of WMD - I sure hope so. If not, I may out there with Den. |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by tommyD on Mar 23rd, 2003, 10:43am The patriots demand Those who oppose the war now must shut up. They think opposing war is unpatriotic, Is some kind of personal insult to our troops, Or puts our troops in danger. They demand we all think one way in order to support our troops or to keep our thoughts and questions to ourselves. They demand we trade freedom for security. But meanwhile, the Emporer has no clothes. And as time goes on, And believeing himself to be finely attired in popular support, The Emperor continues a war that should have ended, Expands a war that was already complete, Starts new wars, since the first one made him so popular But the Emporer still has no clothes... And troops kill and die Instead of returning to home and family, to keep him strutting naked. And we become more like the enemy: Denying truth, ignoring questions, suppressing speech, closing our minds, And ultimately, hating freedom. When the Emporer has no clothes, The true Patriot must point out that fact, or do great disservice to freedom, to the troops, and even to the Emperor himself. Those who would silence dissent Would feel better living where none is allowed. There are plently of places like that in the world. So far, at least, the US is not one of them. And will become one over my dead body. So who’s a patriot, son? -tommyD |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by Bob P on Mar 23rd, 2003, 10:53am Nice writing Tommy. However, the patriots in the first paragraph are right. Now is not the time. Now is not the time to place doubt in the troops minds. Now is not the time to deter their focus. This only slows tings down, causes more death. The protestors should have spoken up before this started. The protests should be peaceful if thay have to be done at all. Unfortunately, this is not and will not be the case. It's a shame. Only my opinion (fromed while my shorts were rotting off in 90 degree heat and 100% humidity of Southeast Asia.) |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by tommyD on Mar 23rd, 2003, 11:06am Bob - Quote:
I think this is a key question. Will a new Iraq become a member of OPEC? Or will they stay independent, selling cheaply to Bush's patrons and undercutting OPEC and their own revenue stream. The latter could well mean cheaper gasoline for us in the short run, but there could be a higher likelihood of wars in the future. The oil question is not as simple a one as portrayed by either side - prowar or antiwar. But it does lie at the root of things. If there was no oil under Iraq, there would be little interest from the Bush administration. WMD? Plenty of other countries have WMDs, including nukes, and really lousy human rights records...some even as bad as Saddams'. And the complaints I heard about rebuilding contracts is not that they were let to American companies, it's that some real big contracts went to Halliburton -- Dick Cheney's outfit. But who knows, maybe Halliburton was low bidder.... ;) -tommyD |

Why cant they pray for peace and not use violence to achieve their goal? If they are so against war and violence, what do they call what they are doing? And dont they think that Iraq and others around the world are watching how the Americans react?

The streets in the financial district have been blocked every morning during rush hour so no one can get to work. Last week they got so out of hand on the Golden Gate bridge that one of them fell off & died! :o Uh...helloo???? Dummies! The city is having to spend a fortune EVERY damn day on extra police coverage to take control of the crowds. They had their chance to protest BEFORE the war! Now it's here and they need to get behind the troops! As far as I'm concerned they are not AMERICANS! I'm sorry, but I'm pissed! Nobody WANTS to go to war, but unfortunately in some cases it's necessary. But now that it's started it's our responsibility as AMERICANS to unite in our support for the men & women who are complete strangers to us and RISKING THEIR LIVES FOR US!!!! DO THESE PEOPLE NOT GET THAT??? And do they think that this builds morale when all the soldiers are seeing on tv are protests??? >:( We should be buying up ALL the American Flags in the stores just like after 9/11. Where have all the flags gone?? I haven't seen very many on the road and that bothers me. This is why we are a JOKE to other countries! Because we can't even unite our own country. I'M STEAMING!! Believe me, I am not a fan of George Bush...but I am a fan of the troops! Now I just read online a few minutes ago that these bastards in Iraq are pretending (some) to surrender and then they start shooting. And some are fighting wearing civilian clothing to throw off our troops... PLEASE PRAY FOR THE RETURN OF ALL OF OUR TROOPS ESPECIALLY THE POW'S!! |

Title: Re: Demonstrations Post by BarbaraD on Mar 26th, 2003, 11:20am I'm with Bob P: Support the troops: Yes In favor of the war: NO WMD: If they don't find something - we're going to look like warmongers or damn fools. As far as protests go - those people have WAY too much time on their hands. If they want to protest they should do it in letters, phone calls, e-mails or faxes to their ELECTED officials in DC. That's where it could do some GOOD - not gathering in the streets and getting on the 6 o'clock news. It didn't work for View Nam and it's not working here. Congress can do something about it - the newspeople can't. Anyhow that's my opinion. Hugs BD |
