Give Peace a Chance To Do What, Exactly?
Brain Terminal ^ | 1/29/03 | Evan Coyne Maloney

Posted on 01/29/2003 1:20:07 PM PST by libber-tarian

This is the conclusion of an editorial from Brain-Terminal.com:

To the peace-at-all-costs crowd, I say: peace was given a chance, and peace failed. So, rest up. There will be plenty of protests for you to attend in the near future. That's because we're fortunate enough to have a president who recognizes the lurking dangers that you choose to ignore. As you savor the freedoms, comforts, and luxuries of the American existence, remember the Iraqi people, who have none of these things thanks to Saddam Hussein. And think of our kids in the Gulf, the ones you probably view as offspring of rednecks and other unsophisticates. They've pledged their lives to secure your right to scream yourself hoarse about the evil United States. They're the ones who are about to liberate the Iraqi people. And when they do, they'll be making a far greater contribution to humanity than has ever been made by antiquated actresses bellowing stale sixties slogans into bullhorns at peace protests.

The rest of the article is available at http://brain-terminal.com/articles/world/peace-chance.html.


TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: appeasement; europe; inspections; iraq; northkorea; un; war
Article starts off by comparing North Korea in 1994 to Iraq of 2003, at least in terms of how the world is (not) handling the problem...

On a similar note, I've been thinking of making a T-shirt that says:

War is Now the Answer.

A chance to plan a really horrific atack. One that would make 9-11 look like a fender bender.

I took two from a booth and made up one.
One said, No War Now and the other said ,Peace and idea whose time has come.

Now I've got one that says,

War an idea whose time has come.

when do these go on sale? where can i get one?

i like the idea of make-your-own t-shirts to get across your views. beats those damn buttons that liberals always wear...i don't want to ruin my clothes by impaling fabric with a rusty metal pin

reminds me of a t-shirt i had made shortly after Reagan left office:

"REAGAN FOR RUSHMORE!"
