XXXManager: I don't belong to any of those groups you listed. I belong to the group that wants to make the world a safer place to live, rather than destabilizing, bombing, and fuelling hatred toward the U.S.

And don't worry about offending me... it takes more than a disagreement about an issue... especially one with no obvious black or white. Of course people are going to disagree.

Anybody watch Donahue last night, by any chance? It was interesting to see Donahue and Pat Buchanan agreeing for half the show... on the issue of Iraq.

Good. I agree. Disagreements the basis of free speech. If everybody would agree on everything there would be no need for free speech :)
I mean no offense and take no offense in matters of opinions. The fact that I care hearing and responding shows (I think) my respect and value of other people's opinions.

The group you described does not relate to anti-iraq-conflict protest directly. It is not realistic just "wanting" peace and safety and love without realizing there are some who wish differently. I mean - you can wish it, but sometimes you should act differently. Trying to clarify what I mean - I will ask again: Are you saying US should not have helped Kuwait in the last invasion since Kuwait is not US and fighting Iraq back then was ant of agression and not love and peace? Do you suggest US should stop supporting Israel in the middleeast since that might create hate towards the US among terrrorists? Would you say that US should withdraw from Afghanistan and let the Taliban regain control over there since the Taliban is angry at the US for kicking it out of power? do you suggest to disarm NATO since NATO is an army coalition and armies as you suggest are bad things by principal.

Nope, didn't watch (what channel?). Only thing I have heard is that Buchanan is an asshole who doesn't know shit ;) don't know him though.
What did they agree on??

Well despite the huge anti war demos in england and all those people that were interviewed saying that this proves that the majority of people are against the war a poll on sky today shows only 28% are against the war now!

The other options/results in the poll are..

Attack now: 35%
Second resolution: 35%

Draw your own conclusions..

Interesting. So 1.5M protestors in the UK are not a majority? ;)
Anyway - that does not matter as well. The descision about war is not decided upon in the newspapers, tv, saloon talks or the streets. It is decided by people who's job is to analyze the situation and evaluate danger vs. gain. (or is forced upon you). Hopes are that these people know what they are doing.

Very educated and intelligent bunch. Real caring people like you suggest ;) I think they have the key to the solution. Who is more suitable than this endless fountain of IQ to be ruling the world? LMAO

I had enough. All the protestors I've seen so far are DUMB.
Maybe there are some smart ones.

The more i see these anti-war protestors the less respect I have for them. I think the people I saw so far ashame the 0.01% of the demonstrators who REALLY know what they protest against

Can someone show me a video of at least ONE smart person protesting against the war and explaining his position smartly?

Quoting from one of the protestors in the UK (I'm sure she is legally immiggrant and a proud UK resident - hehe)
Quoting:
"1,2,3,4 - we dont want your racist state
5,6,7,8 - Palestine is here to stay"
LOL

and whats the deal with danny glover?
Since when did he start doing standup comedy?
Is this man on drugs or what? LOL
He mumbles more than Bush ;)
