I agree. Can't blame the soldiers. I'd be more cautious after a bombing as well. They shouldn't even be over there.Quote:

Much as I hate to admit it, it's pretty indicitive of the anti-war movment lately... the people who have no damned clue what's going on other than getting a chance to bash the US are the ones getting the airtime. The focus of the protests shifted from US aggression to "oh, Iraq is fine, we're evil", something forigen political figures are quick to latch on to and exploit...
Heh, that Comic is great.
beauty of a comic, i particularly like the "good men should do nothing" sign. kind of sums up a lot of the anti-war movement to me.
No by protesting they are doing something....Bwahahahahahahaha!
Ironicaly pro war people here used that line on me.Quote:

Just shut the fuck up becouse all youre talk and arguments have no influence whatsoever on what happens, the war started so keep yer trap shut.
I don't find the comic that funny. It really exaggerates the situation. Then again I never give much credence to political cartoons.

I think he was referring to all of the stuff I've said like: "You protesters are useless, you can't keep Saddam in power, no matter how much you try", "It makes me happy that Old Europe is rapidly descending into insignificance".
I'd say that "Ignorant-Ass Pacifists Should Do Nothing" would be a more apt description than "Good Men Should Do Nothing" if you were trying to sum up my position by way of a sign, but that's really neither here nor there.
Are you sure about that?Quote:

At my school they had a walkout protest against the war before the war started. They ("they" being the anti-war protestors, I dunno who organized it originally) also turned it into a protest against the fact that the Regents and our wise old governor Grey Davis are arbitrarily slashing budgets and raising fees (thanks to Davis' amazing incompetence, this state has a deficit greater than the other 49 put together).
They said that the government needs to stop putting the military over education.
Sounds like a worthy cause, right SC? Im sure you know a lot about rising education fees.
Keep in mind, this was a walkout. From class.
They left class to go to the anti-war protest.
They cut class to go to the anti-war protest.
Let's not forget the disruption they caused trying to get people to walk out. They disrupted people in class.
That simple action points to the absurdity of such a demonstration - they themselves were putting the military (and its actions) over their education.
When I left my class and went down to the protest site, they were not protesting the education, they were protesting the war... while they snatched "pro-war" signs and basically stiflied their right to protest (there was actually a picture of such an event occurring from here on Yahoo News, but I cant find it anymore, unfortunately).
It was then when I realized that this knee-jerk protest movement was going nowhere, and saying nothing.
