It is obvious their little worries, their little pet isms and moans and groans out weigh their phony baloney desire to end the war. Like if Paul was elected he’d make things worse than they are. That hardly seems possible.
Ron Paul had a true movement going. One Nader, McKinney, et al may only dream about having. Same for their ‘followers.’
I’m not saying Ron is better, Just that he’d end the war.
But he won’t have the chance because for all the little do gooders ending the war does not come first. Not by a long shot.
Vote for Ron Paul? Support Ron Paul?
Not if I have to vote for a…… … Fill in the blank.
Well, enjoy your war(s).

The subject, clearly stated is how do foks show their opposition to the current troop occupation in Iraq and come up with an effective stategy to bring them home sooner rather than later? Please stick to the program.

Understanding the WW2 era also should take into account that Hitler’s fate was sealed when he started printing his own money. Attempting to break free from the “banksters” and their “ilk.”
If Hitler had never fired a shot, he was already a goner for daring to free Germany from control of the, well, lets just say, “banksters.”
A disturbing trend. Can you say Federal Reserve?
Just trying to “keep it straight.”

I do understand that people don’t like war. I agree with people that say we didn’t need to start a war in Iraq. There were probably better ways to help the Kurds and the Shiites, and bring the Sunnis along. But, we can’t go back to 2003. We can only go forward and make up for our mistakes. The war in Iraq is almost over so an anti-war rally won’t do anything. If you really want to help the Iraqis demand jobs for them. Demand that the State Department start creating industry. That’s what the Iraqis want and need.

Probably a familiarity with the Nuremberg Principles and jettisoning jingoist catch phrases about “supporting the troops” by “bringing them home.”

“One common explanation for this is that most Americans simply don’t care about the war or aren’t affected by it.”

“Care” is a rather subjective term. As to whether they are affected by it–if they’re not now they will be very shortly. Of course, expecting Americans to make the connection is like expecting your cat to open its own food.

“Flowing from this assessment of the state of political consciousness about the war is the conclusion that the antiwar movement needs to make certain it keeps to a well-defined set of limited demands in order to attract a broader audience. Thus, it should avoid “contentious” issues–such as opposition to the war in Afghanistan, or challenging racism against Arabs and Muslims or sexism in the military–and stick to calls to bring the troops home.”

So I suppose it never occurred to you that some people simply will not play politics with their ethical concerns. But if you want to, rock on with your bad self.

“The GI antiwar movement needs to be careful not to appear anti-military, or it might alienate pro-military troops.”

So people are to simply ignore the fact that the US military machine is pouring unimaginably massive resources into ludicrous schemes to try and run the world, creating a massive destruction of human life and natural resources in the process?
Ole Ike offered the best answer to that psychotic bullshit.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.
It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement.
We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

“For the antiwar movement, therefore, the essential point is that many people are ready to hear an uncompromising argument for immediate withdrawal. But they won’t hear it unless someone makes it. It’s up to local activists to find ways to reach this audience of millions.”

Eyyeah, sure. At this point, anti-war activism and anti-military activism are a matter of self protection. “America” and Americans can continue to delude themselves that they can run the world, destroy their economy, countless lives, wreck the environment and very possibly cause human extinction (along with innumerable other species), or they can stand down, back off, withdraw and get on with the business of attempting to make this planet a place in which decent people would want to live.

Note: Though Hitler was a National Socialist, and thought Socialism should be financed by robbery of Jews instead of robbery of Capitalist, the result is the same — only his choice of victims differed.

I see Ms. Jackowski still blaming the citizens. I saw a large number of citizens get active in 2003-2004. Apparently those on the “left” noticed that too and decided it was more risky for them to realize that the War in Iraq was NOT for oil.

The 2004 US Elections: The Mother of all Vote Frauds
Alex Pelosi’s new film “Diary of a Political Tourist” catches a tipsy Congressman Peter King making a comment at a White House function before the election had been finished that, “It’s already over. The Election’s over. We Won.”

When Pelosi asks, “How do you know that?” King replies, “It’s all over but the counting. And we’ll take care of the counting.”
