acidrain69's Journal: Ramblings

I'm tired of hearing these war mongerers saying "Support our troops, you unpatriotic bastards!"

If you really want to support our troops, you should be out there PROTESTING to get them home as soon as possible. Protesting has NOTHING to do with being unsupportive of the troops. Protesting has everything to do with not supporting WAR PLANS. Hating the president is not unpatriotic either, especially if he is a blithering drooling fool.

We could win this war an hour from now and it wouldn't change anything. We still declared war on a country that had done nothing to us. We still went against the UN's wishes. Bush couldn't even GO to the security council once he knew he didn't have enough votes.

You do not have to support the president just because we are at war. I keep hearing "I support the president in this time of war" from the hawkish side, and then I hear valid and logical reasoning from (most) of the dove side. "This is an illegal war, started without the international communiy's support", "I can't belive the doublespeak of this administration, with their pre-emptive strike and self defense"

It truly is 1984.
