it sounds pretty legit......
unfortunately A LOT of people think such situations can be solved by ignoring or some form of negotiation............
I personally can't stand a lot of the concepts of anti-war beliefs. Though I am not FOR war, I think the defense that the common anti-war citizen has, is just plain weak. To think its possible to negotiate with EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in this world, is pretty much impossible.
A sober guy walks up to you on the street, puts a gun to your head, and wants to blow your head off. Not for your house, not for your money, not for your car, not for anything materialistic, but for a self surge of power. Could you negotiate and convince him its not worth it? Most likely not. The same goes for war and politics. This is in no relation to the current issues with Iraq, but it is the reason war begins, whether it be for land, power, or money, or all. Whether its our side that wants it, or their side, it will always be a war over some form of power.
I can't judge Bush for his decisions, simply because I'm not in his seat. None of us will ever REALLY know what this war is about, and I find it very interesting to see people who think they have the answer, when their only information is received through newspapers, television, and short presidential speeches. Voice your opinion on what you know, but if the only ground youre standing on is based on local media and personal opinion, don't expect it to mean much to the government or the people you're trying to convince. A protestors protest to me in numberical form is 1 + ? = ??
lets face it, the facts suck. We just plain can't prove anything. We only know what we are told when it comes to todays government. I just wish anti-war protestors would realize, they are standing on a ground built on 1/4th of the story, and the same goes for pro-war protestors. With todays current government, none of us will every REALLY know whats going on, and all we can argue is what we're told. Just remember that before you run around saying whats the right thing to do, and whats the wrong thing to do. Just my opinion on anti/pro war protesting.
