There is one option that people who plan and participate in these peace rally's havent pushed for and it's something that I don't think they have considered.
#1 Why don't we back of of everything, no more being the world Policeman. To put it in simple terms just stay here at home and not get involved, if Saddam Gasses people tough its not our problem, I f all the Middle east comes together and attacks Isreal no problem it's not the US's problem. If Hilter's Great grandson comes to power and decides he wants to expand no problem.
If The south American countries begin to battle each other and wipe out the rainforrest which supplies 35% of earth's Oxgen no problem if Canada become a dictator ship no problem. Tell me where our world will be in ten years, my guess chaos!
We are now and have always been in the nation build business its part of being a world power, right now we are the only one.
I dont want a war but if you have to have one then do it right.
The problem today as it was in 60's is people dont know why we have war's they are too enlightened by CNN, MSNBC, fox and the majors and you will be hard pressed to see pro war stories.
I love knowledge but we as a nation need to learn a remember a few things. If Sept 11 had happened in 1941 what do you think our nation would have done? I would guess Truman would have sent a couple of our fatman/little boy experiments to someone's backyard.
Our soldiers our hero's fought and died for this nation to stop a mad man. What did Germany do to the US before we declared war, they warned us not to get on english liners so innocents wouldnt be hurt but we enter the war to save lives.
The pupose of History is to learn from out mistakes, How many innocents were killed by our bombs we dont know. why? Because the networks didn't stick it in you face each night. When you declare war it is on a nation and our educated people havent understood that since Nam. We didnt declare war on the Nazi's we declared war on Germany all of Germany, if a bomb hit a school in ww2 guess what it hit a building no news no cnn no crying liberals.
But now it's on tv and if one "innocent" is hit guess what cover of time and Larry king interviews the family.
Right now im not sure I want this war but it not the Presidents Job too convince me or everyone, only the majority. And right now 56% think we should so guess what our nation has spoken.
Las tyear i hosted a forign exchange student from Germany and he sent me an email, his statement was Bush was looking for a reason to attack, but Germany's greatest fear was not of bush or the US but of a mildle eastern Madman and what he would do in the region and in Europe, and this is according to what he is seeing and hearing.
It is a frightning time i agree.
One last question if Castro were to announce he was in the process of starting nuclear research and balistic weapons program would we see peace rallys poping up saying stay out of cuba. But then again they are only 90 miles away from us.
Love your country, Love your nation, if you dont like it vote its your right but keep your signs out of my yard.
