Because some of us believe that rather than taking our frustration with our President out on our troops like we did in Viet Nam, we should actually SUPPORT them.

Peace and Love? Are you serious? We are there for the MONEY and nothing else...wake up! Does the name Halliburton ring any bells? We are in the business of EXPLOITATION not peace and love and brotherhood and all that nonsense. We practice WAR corporatism, and we are damned GOOD at it.

As a nation we are powerful but to me as mitlitary in Iraq, We only have inexperienced young people fighting the battle. If you remember. in the begining the military did what they went there to do. After that, I felt that they should all have come home. But to sit in someone else's country and try to make things better for them to me is a waste of time, money, and young lives. There are to many people in that country that opposes United State's idea of a free nation.

Oh, she sure meant it.  The NWO, aka Bilderberg Group has seemly been attempting to bring the world under one fold in a kind of American styled democracy.  The so called "Islamo fascists" and or so called renegade regimes are trying to stay out of this fold, quite bravely, especially Chavez, the "bravest man on the planet".   Due to the resistance of these groups to adopt the American style democracy, the NWO is resorting to force to "stabilize" the world.  Yes you may choose Democrat, Republican, whatever.  Divide and conquer, keep 'em divided so no other voice can interfere. Our only hope is for the liberal and conservative populous to unite and stop this. My advice, hunker down and prepare yourself and families to fight for freedom.  Also in the short-term get ready for possible war in Iran and $150 dollars a barrel.  May god help us all.

Becuase here in the US people have the right to gather and protest, and in our colleges and universities, it is actually ENCOURAGED to speak out against the sitting government. Regardless of who is presiding, and what their policies, there would be mass protests over them. We call these people bleeding heart liber leftists. If only they realize the ideal they stand for are the same ones that Hitler, Mussolini, PolPot, Lennin, and Mao Tse Tung stood for, only they don't realize that if their political ideologies are ever brought to bear, their rights to speak out as they do will be the FIRST to go. In fact, they would be the first EXECUTED for doing so. Probably by us war mongering right wing, gun toting Republicans. They have no idea why a war would be waged, and though they say they speak on my behalf, have no idea my ideology, or they would keep their mouths shut. This goes for 99.9% of ALL service men. Don't cry about us being at war. EVER. It's our job. It's what we are. It's what we do. We knew that when we signed the papers and took the oath. Don't get me wrong. I'm not PRO war. But I'm not ANTI war either. I'm just a Marine who fights the wars. Considering I faught in 5 armed conflicts in 12 years, and I'm here to write about it, I'd also say I'm pretty good at it. We don't fight for oil. We only get 20% of our oil from the Middle East region. We don't fight for politics, because war is not popular. Bush may well be an idiot. But he IS the Commander In Chief, and President of The Unitd States of America. We fight wars for an ideology that only those with integrity and values, and the desire to stand up for what is RIGHT can understand. Ask the servicemen overseas how they feel about the war. As one voice, they will tell you they support it, and are honored to be a part of it. The U.S. military is 100% VOLUNTARY. Nobody here has to fight a war they don't believe in. The war started long enough ago, that those who were enlisted at the beginning of it have finished their tour of duty, and RE-ENLISTED, or they enlisted AFTER the war started. Regardless, they ALL VOLUNTEERED to join a military service during a time of war. There is a REASON for them doing so.

I used to roll my eyes at the military. I used to spew uneducated nonsense about how our country was a terrible place to live, and that I wanted to live someplace that was actually free. That was before I realized that soldiers sacrafice so much of their own freedom in order to make our country a great place to live. Thank you for giving your life to make all of us "civilians" free. Happy Father's Day, Big C!" You're doing a wonderful Job!

umm because the original crimanals in the war drugs is the usa itself. We made the drugs in labs. Grew them in south america, let them through our borders, then we had to get mroe poilice and jails to fight this problem that we started. What better way to fight a war, when your on both sides of the table.

We should all just talk, peacefully. I don´t get the point of guns, bombs and all that cr*p they use. As if´s that´s going to fix anything. They are making it worse!

Winki Pinki must be at that time of the month so just ignore her. Anyway, to answer your question, war is much needed sometimes but when in comes to the war in Iraq, I tooootally agree with you. They have no inclination of whats going on in the world, look at Rummy how he said France and Germany reminds him of "Old Europe", what a jerk to say suh a thing like that. They are our allies for God sake and not our bitch whores. They have a right to an opinion. This administration has no morals and rides the wave of shoving freedom down everyones throats. Thats why the world has indigestion now and its time to throw out the Necon clan from America.

Looks like a NEO_CON Union Meeting in here? I think they should be reported for assembling don't you H-I-B. (SS) rules of engagement don't you know. Some of the Republicans really stepped off with Ports to the Enemy deal, and I loved it. Flip-Flopping off of the NAZI side is happening everyday now. Vote them out in November, and free America from these Tyrants!

I support you 100%, It may be so hard because of how irresponsible journalism writes the news, or maybe because of a lack of pride for their country, either way brother, you and I both served so these people could have that right, whether we like it or not. I hate them (disrespectful hippies)with all of my American heart, but I would die for their freedom regardless of how I feel, because its Americans like us and them that keep our country going. Semper Fi. As far as MacMoma...what are you talking about "worthy of your respect?", who are you? really, who the hell are you? You wouldn't be allowed to have basic human rights without our "bumbling leaders", old "shotgun" dick and our Brothers and Sisters-in-arms, you would be considered sub-human in most other countries, you should be grateful men and women of the US Armed forces spilled their blood so you could vote, or drive, or even have the right to learn...it is you who should be worried if you are doing enough for OUR respect...

We accept everyone in because this nation was founded on the freedom of the individual that no matter what are background we can achieve great things...We can make it and strive for profection.....  Whe are a proud country willing to take in the poor, hungry, and tired, to turn them into something they truly deserve.....to be human...most countries including Iraq, the people live in fear everyday..the thought that the might get beheaded. or blown up, even kidnapped and rapped....but the only thing is these problems just havent started the have been going on for thousands of years...You tell me what freedom is and I will tell of a people more deserving than us...I have been stationed in japan for three years.  I am in the united states airforce and you know when I went home after I was IN Iraq...I noticed a loud mouth snot nosed country who has forgot them selves.  We are americans.. 70 YEARS AGO that meant something....now these days freedom to most is going and getting a cheeseburger at 3 in the morning.  Well all I got to say is a least that right is there to use. My own country men are ruder to me than the Iraqs and Japanese are to me.  And I lay my life on the line to protect the freedom that those same people may lye down in comfort at night while I sleep on the ground.  So for letting others in I say they deserve the chance that was not given to them.

The military may be a lot of waiting around, but thank God for that! I rather the men and women in the military be sitting here doing nothing, then fighting in our streets. If its so bad to be sitting there, why not volunteer to join the fighting? I have nothing but respect for those who fight for and defend our country, but I am ashamed that you are one of those people. You should be grateful you are alive and well.

It is a natural human instinct to fight to be free. Like the licence plate says...."Live free or die."   However it should be everyone's  "Patriotic Duty"  to fight for our "Constitutional Rights."

And it appears as if they found people just like Saddam to run things. I sent this link to my senators and congressmen/women as well as my state house leaders. I asked them if they were aware of this and if so, how we could allow this to stand. Unacceptable.\n\nAnd yes, I think it is past time to commit to this war, no matter if it was right or wrong to start, we are in it now, get it over with. Win it. Given our technology, hardware and numbers, the only thing we are lacking at the moment is balls.

I couldn't agree with you more. Its funny how the people that are so into this war being fought seem to be right here not fighting it.  I guess its a lot easier to send someone else to die for one's beliefs. War is never patriotic, ever.  Its a horrible tragedy.  The cause can be patriotic, but death and mutilation is never good. This war is not patriotic and it is a waste of young people's lives.
