Priorities, Priorities - the Cindy Sheehan situation

Damn straight. I hope she stays in Crawford for a couple of years. All those folks covering the story spend money. We need the tax revenue. Carry on ma'am.

 

The residents of Crawford don't feel the same way. They want them gone. Residents are signing a petition to have these protestors pushed farther away from their property. One ran over some crosses last night.

I know I wouldn't want to deal with all these people, the media and port-a-potties. It's getting ugly...

Red55 the reason they are fighting so hard is they know if we succeed in bringing a civilized way of life to one Arab country Democracy just might spread in that part of the world.

My one question to liberals is what is worth fighting for. Is this country worth fighting for. I think back to Vietnam and wonder if President Johnson faced this kind of crap from Liberals in his party back then.

Liberals are always eager to be against things. I wonder where their Human Rights speaches were while Bill Clinton sat by and watched hundreds of thousands of people get exterminated in Bosnia and the USA did nothing to help these people.

Save your bleeding heart crap about people dying until you are consistent in your views.

 

Good point, wasn't Rwanda during that time period also.
I thought I heard him apologize for this not that long ago.

 

The scary part is when you see someone say "You might do the same thing in their place." I simply can't see a situation where I would go out and intentionally kill innocent men, women and children like these insurgents/terrorists are doing in Iraq.

But hey, I'm weird like that...

 

You know something? I was going to reply to this comment, but right now, I can feel the burning red rising up from my neck, and being that I normally respect you and consider you something of a friend on this forum, I'm going to refrain from saying something I'll regret later. Suffice it to say that I'll just let your statement stand on it's own dubious merits, Red.

 

Wierd. I felt the exact same way when I read his post. Funny how Red has earned our respect here, but he's got a blind spot when it comes to Bush and his response to the 9/11/01 attack on the United States of America.

 

what again did Iraq have to do with 9/11/01?

 

Here is the thing with Iraq. We are trying to force democracy on a people that doesn't know what democracy is. The democracies on this planet have a common theme. They rose by a common desire of the people. Iraq does not have that common desire. Iraq isn't even a nation. It is a boundry drawn on a map by the Brits after WWI. From Babylon tp Persia to the Moslem Empire to the Ottoman Empire it has always been an occupied territory.

Ask an Iraqi what they are. They don't say Iraqi. They are Sunni Arab, Shiite Arab or Kurd.
