firstly, protesters remind me of my 1 year old niece: they whine but dont know what is going on. waaah! waaah! waah!
they have a right to protest...but it really surprised me that they had the nerve to be angry when they were arrested (in Detroit) for blocking access to some buildings. they deserved to be arrested.
also, it seems that there is plenty of media coverage of protests, and the truth is that there just arent that many people protesting. sorry folks, but it is true. the numbers are remarkably small. the protests appear impressive because it is not often you see so many people in one place rallying--and they tend to cause disruption, which also seems impressive.
secondly: the US isnt going against any UN laws, we are upholding it! the UN might have even upheld the multitude of resolutions if France and others had not gone back on their word.
resolution 1441 was UNANIMOUSLY voted in, and when time to enforce it, several countries backed out. the US is not going to wait around for these chicken-sh!t backstabbing countries to agree.
We feel threatened, so we are going to act. "But Iraq was contained". if Iraq were so contained, then how are they able to lob ILLEGAL missiles into Kuwait? the Kuwait people sure look reassured by the "containment" with their bomb shelters and gas masks.
let us not forget that at last count, 35+ countries are supporting this war. the count before that was 26-6-6 (26 supported the war, 6 agreed with another resolution, 6 were opposed). that is pretty good support, dont you think? so, who has lost the moral arguement?
Turkey? who the heck is Turkey? they arent a threat to the US or England, are they? you are comparing apples to oranges, my friend.
have a nice and light filled day!
