I think to say that people shouldn't protest over a war.. any war.. is pretty pointless. People WILL protest over wars. They do not want to see their friends and family sent to fight, to die.. to kill.. they dont like getting shot at, and people in general dont like being drafted (vietnam). To expect someone not to protest in the face of being forced to kill and get killed is a little ridiculous. There will always be people like moveon.org who will show how people don't want to go to war, and offer alternatives. You shouldn't bash these people, but work with them, and move toward their approach, leaving the killing behind. It should be our main objective to move toward peace, not to further our little world police game, and continue with the death, and slaughter, oppression and hardship that are THE CAUSE OF TERRORISM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Especially in this situation, when we didn't even finish the first war.. and already launched a second one on a country that really wasn't a part of 9/11 at all.. what-so-ever.. people are gonna be a little pissed off. While Afghanistan may have been a "called for by all", "hey lets go kick their collective asses" type of deal, Iraq was, and still is nothing like that. Karl likes to lump Iraq in with the war on terror because that's what that whole region is like now. A giant clusterfuck of terrorism. It wasn't always like this. Granted it wasn't a picnic before, but you dont punch the hornet's nest then shove it in your crotch, expecting them to suck you off.
