Some quotes from an article from some VERY popular artists with people at my college and elsewhere who are Gen X and also support the war on Iraq:

"Others argue that even if Saddam Hussein doesn't pose an immediate threat, he eventually will, and the problem is better solved now than later.

"Unfortunately, there were some really bad things that happened [involving the Middle East], and I think if we don't cut out the cancer while it's still young, then it's gonna grow to be this entity that we may not be able to defend ourselves against," Godsmack frontman Sully Erna said, pulling a page from the quote book of National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. "I applaud the government and President Bush for doing what they're doing, and I think our military are some of the bravest souls, much braver than I could ever be."

Members of 3 Doors Down echoed similar sentiments after shooting a video for "When I'm Gone" with American soldiers stationed overseas. The surge of patriotism they got from the project helped them side in favor of going into Iraq and dismantling part of what Bush called the "Axis of Evil." "Evil is evil, so we're behind our guys and whatever they have to do," singer Brad Arnold said. "People just need to realize that the U.S. is the daddy of the world and all the time daddy can't be the good guy."

"I really love my girlfriend, and I really love my country, and I really love everyone who's in my life," Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger said. "And if there are some f---ing a--holes anywhere with the ability to launch a weapon of mass destruction and hurt any of those things that I love or anybody anywhere, then that's a problem that has to be dealt with.

"Everybody's sitting around going, 'Oh, don't go to war, don't go to war,' " he continued. "Well, we're going to war for a reason: Saddam Hussein is a madman. If there would have been any nuclear capability on any of the Scud missiles he launched [during the Gulf War], do you think he would have not done it? He would have done it in a heartbeat. That absolutely terrifies me."

I find it remarkable that those who support the war, and support the President can effectively enumerate the reasons why they support the war and the President.

These musical nitwits who continuously bash the President never state WHY...they just state that they DO.

The reason? Simple...if they stated WHY, then they'd open themselves up for a debate, shich they'd ultimately lose, as no rational person can effectively argue that this war is NOT a good thing, and was NOT necessary.

They say "anyone but Bush", but when you ask them WHY...they usually stammer and yell something incoherent, or tell you to shut up.

This is preceisely why Liberals fail on a national scale. They can't open themselves up to debate, so they exist only in sound bites.
