    The war was based on bullshit and so is this line of thinking that we have to stay over there for however long. They don't give a shit. It's all about controlling their oil for as long as we can....period.

    I think that most people understand it, yet there are so many other distractions on the home-front that most people tend to worry about other things unfortunately. :(

    they are tools, the policy planners. the level of propaganda they are exposed too is nothing compared to what you and I have to deal with. They are told what to think, and the good little subjects are rewarded with higher posts. thqats what Mccain is betting on.

    Yeah, I agree and that is sad...especially when we can't take the time to really think about all the death and destruction this war is STILL causing....not to mention the costs of it. And for what?

    If you have a close friend or family member in Iraq, then the war is priority for you. If you don't ; Gas, economy, immigration, morality seem to be the hot issues. Most people just don't give a rat's ass about the war if no one they know are dealing with it. It just gets ignored and people go on trying to live their lives.

    So what can you do to get people to care about others? others halfway around the world? are we really that cold and callous?

    The truth hurts . . . unfortunately :o

    You have to realize that 83% of people that are on this pit would rather have a new PJ album instead of the war ending :p:(

    Me too. We are in the good 17% ;)

    I know that comment was a little ridiculous, but the attitude of many is that "Well, George Bush is in office ,the war won't end, what do we do?"

    Well, that depends. Will the album be released on 180 gram virgin vinyl and sourced from the original analogue master tapes, with Steve Hoffman doing the mastering? :D:D

    I kid, I kid.

    I'd bet 70 % of Americans would rather save American Idol from being canceled; rather than doing something that would help stop the war.

    war crime apologist?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    whats that suppose to mean? Oil has always been a factor in any of our affairs in the middle east. Iraq is no different.

    I forgot how much you like McCain. Most see this information arising much differently than yourself.

    thats wrong actually.

    obama voted to set a withdrawl date, the bill passed the house and senate and was VETO'd by Bush. mccain voted against it.

    also, obama could have voted in 2003, he was at the state level at that time.

    you might want to read up before hopping in the ring
