Why don't you enlist?

No, they never will.\n\nLiberals are too busy viewing the world they way they think it SHOULD work instead of observing how the world does work. \n\nThey argue and create policy trying to create a socialist gov't.  \n\nYou can't convince a liberal their argument doesn't make sense.  In 10 years or so they will find out Liberalism is a medical condition treatable with anti-idiot medication.

I found it hard to believe at the time that they allowed it to happen, when i was in the military, fighting for our country, unlike some of the people on here who only make childish remarks. It never would have happened, today with politics taking such a large part in any conflict it is almost impossible to conduct a mission without interference from politicians. I noticed that you are already getting facetious, childish responses to your question, and it seems their are some who post drivel and think they are being intelligent.

That might be possible if it wasn't for the fact that many of these organizations are opposed by the USA. Many of these are out to bring the USA to bear for war crimes and crimes against humanity, which is in the interests of everybody.

Americans do understand the complexity's of this issue.They only need a leader to set things in motion,a catalysts to motivate them into action.I'm not sure if it will help or make the issue even more violable.When I talk to others that I meet in my travels I see a passion behind their words that I hadn't seen before.They are angry and want to do something to help preserve our American way of life.I know this is like a festering sore ,that needs to be cauterized.By uniting with other Americans perhaps a solution to this problem can be found.Action is the response not the motivation.My tax dollars are being tossed away on people that hate this country and any thing American.

Apparently (all) our leaders lack the ability to find peaceful solutions, each for his own reasons. It is a shame when violence occurs and it would be nice to use alternatives to killing and war.

protest? like the many to "stop the war" ? protests dont work, dont bother with it. i never could see the point. i guess if it make a person feel good to get something off their chest fine, but dont stop traffic, make alot of noise or involve other ppl who dont give a rats ass about ur cause. as for ur question...go to a city official, police dept or something so they know about it and get set an area for u and ur fellow protesters and dont break the law. dont throw crap, dont vandalize, someone usually will go to far anyway and then think did they are a martyr if they get arrested.

ooooOOoooh Doggies!\n\nThis is a good one. The problem is, they cannot support this effort in any of its forms as its success means their assured failure in the next election.  This war was initiated during a Republican administration. Democrats (liberals) have lost so much power in the course of the last 6 years that they cannot afford to do do anything but counter the momentum that GW has created. Its true the momentum has slowed, and GW has only himself to blame for not rallying more popular support for his programs. The media has never done a conservative any favors and socialist, communist and other left-wing groups have done a pretty good job of pumping out anti American, anti semite, anti capatalist propaganda.

My husband is in the military as well. Have you ever noticed that the people protesting are the same people that would never lift a finger to serve anything but themselves? Yet they have the audacity to criticize and question those who do, they should just say thank you, or not. \nThese people wouldn't dream of serving our nation even if it were deemed a "Just Cause" They are talkers, They make me sick. Most wars aren't popular, they suck in general. Thank you for serving.

Because they arent there to protect the rights of individuals.  They exist to impliment a liberal agenda.

The liberals only want us to get involved in truly selfless causes when there is no vital interest that we are protecting.\n\nThey want soldiers to lose their lives for nothing not a security interest.

Um, we/they do, you just don't hear about it because the news doesn't give a damn about Mexico.\nit's difficult to organize because our voices do not resonate as far as Mexico City, and to protest within the boundaries of Mexico would be to sign one's own death sentence, instead it is subtle political movements, the rise of the socialist party on local levels, voting to make change as far as one's vote counts, which is only on a state/local level. \nthe atrocities committed by the Mexican government are too numerous and too well disguised and denied to illustrate, the only one they have done a poor enough job of hiding to use against them are the murders in Juarez.\nThe key organization of protest against Mexico stemming from the murders is Las Amigas De Las Mujeres De Juarez. It encompasses the border around Juarez including the cities and towns of Las Cruces, New Mexico; El Paso, Texas; Anthony, both the Texas and New Mexico sides; and many other small towns in the area.\nMany of the protests are simple and very similar to those of Native Americans, such as a refusal to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. To many of us it is an idiotic celebration of a hollow victory, that was when we won the battle against France and personally we don’t really care about that. The immigration restrictions worry us because they keep people who are being killed and oppressed daily trapped, it’s like when the US refused to take the Jews from Germany. \nAnd we don’t send our money back to Mexico itself; we send it to our family members so that they can eventually save enough to join us in America. As for free healthcare and free education, it doesn’t exist. As much as you would like to think so nothing is free, often times we have to work in the fields as migrant workers to make enough money to pay to have somewhere to live and enough to eat to survive, social programs like “the projects,” welfare, and food stamps do not apply to us because we are not citizens. \nIronically we are often more a representation of “The American Work Ethic” than many of your rich white Americans. They don't start from nothing, or if they do it is rare.

Same reason that all politicians run their mouths, to make political points...it don't always work...just ask George Bush...

Read the history of the independence movement in India, and "The Life Of Ghandi". Nonviolent civil disobedience WORKS... as does boycott.  Enough people get upset enough, things will finally change.  \n\nUnfortunately those choosing to participate will be charged by the media as being "anti government" (they will ignore the term "anti government corruption") and branded  terrorists...

A simple yes/no answer should really suffice. The answer is no. There are a number of clearly identifiable factors which render this osrt of action unachievable (whether desirable or not, which is not the question posed) in the US or anywhere else for that matter.\n\nThe biggest single factor is public disinterest. Organisers of any event that they feel passionate abotu will find it hard to understand that people, being intrinsically selfish, don't want to participate for numerous reasons inlcuding inconvenience, laziness and apathy, belief that the action is flawed or doomed to failure anyway etc.\n\nOther factors contributing to the "no" answer include information distribution (how do you communicate effectively) and dealing with counter-information from those who would not want such an event to take place.\n\nOrganisers of demonstrations and protests know these things, and therefore they ensure that there is a groundswell of support long before the event is announced. In the case of the fight by Bob Geldof and others against the G8 and their stance on African poverty, mobilising the media and getting them onside is also critical.\n\nNeither of these would apply for the given scenario.\n\nThanks for exercising my brain for 5 minutes.

Agree or disagree with the American contributions in the first and second world wars, one thing is certain. The Us is not capable of engaging in a conflict to support its own interest and sustaining the resolve required to win. We have surrendered to liberal heresy and are doomed to suffer the fate of a weak and conviction-less nation.
