Hazim said that at a time when the United States is experiencing 6 percent unemployment, the country should take care of its problems at home rather than send soldiers thousands of miles to destroy another nation.

How about Hazim speaking out against the misuse of his faith to justify sending Islamofascists thousands of miles to destroy people in the United States?

"Would Jesus launch a pre-emptive strike?" another asked.

You never know. See Jesus is God's Atomic Bomb, Swan's Silvertone Singers, c. 1957.

These misguided enablers are demonstrating to the wrong audience ... try it in Mecca, Damascus. See how quickly they can get a permit in Cairo, Tehran, Baghdad, or Chechnya to demand the Islamic terrorists be at peace.

Ya gotta love the timing of the peaceniks. Holding an anti-war rally on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Maybe they should all strip and make message's visible from outer space...it's been done before...hehehehe

Some were old enough to have protested the Vietnam War ...

I was going to write that these were probably some of the old hippies that infest Lawrence.

Then I went to the article and found this photo which proves my point. LOL

From left, protesters, Michael Hodgson, of Topeka, along with Lawrence residents Maggie Riggs and Ann Burgess, carry signs displaying their opposition to the possibility of war with Iraq during Saturday afternoon's peace rally outside the Statehouse. "I hope this has some effect," said Burgess. "Seeing this many people here gives me some hope." Nick Krug/The Capital-Journal

"Would Jesus launch a pre-emptive strike?" another asked.

I have to wonder if this person is one of those people who believe that Jesus condones homosexuality and abortion.

[Free State Four]

Sheesh. They are still using John Lennon and Eric Burdon material. Time to write some new gags, folks. fsf

Perhaps they should have gather at ground zero sing their "Give peace a chance" message. Would some talented skilled person put their music to a video showing pictures of massacred Kurds and others killed by Saddam?

and about that part of Kansas--- That's how we got one of the few new Democrat governors. :(

I can't answer their question, but Jesus did say this (Lk 14.31-32):

Or what king, going to attack another king, does not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with 10,000 men to oppose the one who is coming against him with 20,000? But if indeed he can't, while the other is still at a distance he sends a delegation and asks the terms of peace.

Saddam's situation is that of the king with 10,000.

[Capriole]

these were probably some of the old hippies that infest Lawrence.

Some people just can't get over the fact that it's no longer 1968.

You have to wonder: if these people are so crazy about peace, why don't they go demonstrate against the folks who like to fly airliners into buildings, blow up women and children, and gas civilians? Why is that, huh?

Yeah, but we're just extremist conservative right-wing nuts. What do we know? We aren't capable of undersanding the subtleties of unilateral peace.

There is something tremendously moral and uplifting about standing in a field singing Kumbaya while the other guys spray you with botulinum toxin. See, when that happens, our side gets the moral high ground. So even though we're dead, we still win.

Ask any liberal; this was all explained by Noam Chomsky and Ramsey Clark in their epic volume Cultural Suicide: the Case For Rolling Over and Dying.

[MHGinTN]

Now that's funny! hehehehe

Is that guy in the center of that drawing Michael Moore? LOL thanks for the artwork.

"Jim McConnell, a Navy veteran of the Gulf War, told rally participants that people who oppose an attack on Iraq have been appearing publicly once a week since August in his hometown of Wichita to show their feelings. McConnell said the protesters in Wichita have gotten an "overwhelming" response from the public, with passers-by often cheering, honking their car horns or giving them thumbs-up signs."

I want to know where and when this is supposedly happening. I haven't heard anything about this before.

Does anyone here have any ideas on where I can find out about this?
