Seems to me a lot of Americans are only against the war because its not going well

I know there are a lot of liberal intelligent people who were against it from the get go but nowadays it seems there are a lot of people against it. This might seem like a good thing but i really dont think it is because they just dont like that its costing so much money and lives, they still dont see that it was an initial mistake. They still havent learned that other country's affairs are none of their business and that the rest of the world doesnt want their "help"(a.k.a. bomb the shit out of other countries). I mean unless people learn that exporting values for example democracy doesnt work then we are all condemned to watch history repeat itself over and over again.

As JFK said, victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan.

I see what you're saying, but being against a war because its been completely fucked up is a good reason.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that more and more information keeps coming out that the reasons we went to were were false, and this administration knew it all along.

The fact that it's going so bad just adds fuel to the fire of being lied to.

Ya but its been completely fucked up for the civilians since it began and i think its an insult to them to only express concern now that its affecting ye, especially since ye went in their under the guise of liberating them. Also if you follow that logic then a successful war would be justified regardless of how many innocent Iraques died. Another thing that annoys me is this bands emphasis on the troops as if they were the most deserved of sympathy. These are people who most of them willingly went into a foreign country in which they had no business and killed innocent men, women and children and illegally tortured prisoners. Not all of them i know are evil or are guilty of the above , many of them may have been mislead or forced to go also but the sizable majority believed in what they were doing and they are murderers. Sympathy should be directed at the civilian popoulation who suffered under the american terrorism

I agree. Like I said, I see what you're saying, but there are a lot of incredibly selfish people in this country.. warhawks. As long as America is doing fine the rest of the world can go fuck off. But now it's becoming more and more clear that we fucked up,.. Anyway,.. it's a valid reason, but yeah it's a damn shame that it's the only reason for some people.

it has nothing to do with an intelligence...its picking up a book and realizing the history of the countries involved and the bush family's lack of communication skills.

'For their relevance this morning, the words of the conservative politician Pat Buchanan deserve to be written in marble:

"We will soon launch an imperial war on Iraq with all the 'On to Berlin' bravado with which French poilus and British tommies marched in August 1914. But this invasion will not be the cakewalk neoconservatives predict ... For a militant Islam that holds in thrall scores of millions of true believers will never accept George Bush dictating the destiny of the Islamic world ...

"The one endeavour at which Islamic peoples excel is expelling imperial powers by terror and guerrilla war. They drove the Brits out of Palestine and Aden, the French out of Algeria, the Russians out of Afghanistan, the Americans out of Somalia and Beirut, the Israelis out of Lebanon... We have started up the road to empire and over the next hill we will meet those who went before."

Pat Buchanan ended his prophecy with imperishable words: "The only lesson we learn from history is that we do not learn from history."

Ya but stupid people dont pick up books:) No but seriously all it involves is a skeptical mind and an all round knowledge of the anglo-saxon race. I always go by this quote "beware perphidious albian"

You should be glad they are changing their minds. Maybe it will help end the war sooner.

It's not a terrorist attack when you know it's going to happen.

Judging by your number of posts and your cold remarks you are the devil so i want no more to do with you:) terrorism is anything that evokes a feeling of terror , pre warning could only increase that feeling so you have no point

I think that, regardless of the reasons, the more people that begin to oppose this war it is a good thing......
