War Protesting in Schools

As far as I'm concerned, all of you people who are for the war can go fight in it. :\

I'm no expert, but I thought this war was not about 9/11 or Bin Laden, but about Saddam having things that Bush doesn't want him to have. Or have I just not been watching enough Foxnews?

My point is we need to stop Saddam before he does something to the same scale as Bid Laden. If we can prevent a tragedy then we are all better off.

let's prevent one tragedy by causing another. where's the sense, or even logic, in that?

If we're in control I don't think it's going to be a tragedy upon us. If we sit back and do nothing they will hit us again and again.

Been there and done that ---- I spent many days in the middle east, after it was all done we went back as apart of IFOR (now its NFOR) to remove the mines and explosives so that the civilians wouldn't have come in contact with them... Mind you that saddam and others like him planted all these mines in the first place.... but didn't care if a child’s leg was blown off... instead we went back and cleared mine fields... And on to the protesting.... why aren't the protestors crying "exile to Saddam" whom has a long history of abuse towards his countrymen? This man kills and maims his fellow Iraqs. Yet we have human shields going there to protect him and to protest the US for wanting to defeat him and bring a regime change to the area. Why didn’t anyone protest against Saddam when he release chemical weapon in northern Iraq? Or when his troops kill other ethnic group in his country?

As far as I am concerned these protests are BS … and un-warranted….

A good friend of mine recently said: "Fighting for peace is like f*!ing for virginity."

so it only counts if it's our tragedy ? the lives of others don't matter?

I just mean that if we don't do something they will continue to attack us. I think if we have troops over there fighting for our country, then we won't have terrorist over here bombing our buildings.

What are our other choices? Just do nothing and let them come over and kill our people? If we back down they won't.
