If you were to believe news reports, (most of it propaganda), the entire sentient world is oppsosed to forcibly removing the terrorist regime in Iraq! If nothing else, recent developments have demonstrated to me the urgent need of the U.S. to get out of the U.N.! I don't quite understand why the President would allow the whole host of freaks to array themselves against the U.S. as they have. But, I think he should "move on" with all due speed to the purpose for which he has set the course; and to remember that this is a contest between good and evil!

FYI, as I find the anti-American pics, I'm posting them here.

Millions of people are expected to take to the streets of towns and cities across the globe on Saturday to demonstrate against a looming U.S. led war on Iraq in the biggest protests since the Vietnam war.

From America's support of Saddam's biological weapons research to the sanctions that have denied medical supplies to the Iraqi population to the bombs that drop constantly on Iraq, the America's actions have been anything but quick and painless.

Oh sheesh, where did you get that fax from, Paris? It is the French who have supported saddam.

Just admit it, you see America as the greatest evil in the world and saddam is just a wittle wuvable puppy dog.

God, I've never seen so many people at one time.

Ickey since you've only been here for a day let me give you the real news. Billions ignore anti-war protests worldwide.

God, I've never seen so many people missing at one time.

The fact that these protests are being coordinated worldwide

What?!? You mean these aren't spontaneous eruptions of anti-American hatred?

BTW...coordinated by whom???

What's with the "Damn U Florida" sign in the top picture?

Let 'em. The more REAL America gets to see these scummy cretins, the stronger their support for Bush.

Ickey's profile page is not very encouraging is it?

Is there a new label for that kind of psuedoconservative?

Well put King! It's not anti-war. It's anti American, anti capitalism, anti liberty and pro socialism & communism.

God, I've never seen so many people at one time.

Then you should go to next year's March for Life. You'll see hundreds of thousands of honest, decent, clean cut pro-life Americans...marching peacefully.

And, unlike the marches we're seeing today around the world, they will be there for ONE reason. They'll be marching against abortion, today's marches, as we've seen in marches in the last few weeks, are being done by some to oppose the war, others oppose Bush, others oppose America in general, others want to free Mumia, others want slavery reparations, others want approval and implementation of the Kyoto accords, others want to save the rain forest...ban the internal combustable engine, feed the hungry, and on and on abd on.

These marchers are simply a left wing subterfuge, the organizers are communist anarchists who hate America.

I could be mistaken, but your post appears to be inconsonant with the perspectives generally evinced in this forum

Nah, the "Damn U Florida" is a reference to those wonderful people in the state screwing up the effort to get Algore elected by any illegal means necessary.

Why don't we get any coverage about the anti-Saddam protesters in Iraq?

Or the pro-democracy protesters in China?

Or the anti-Castro protesters in Cuba?

Or the anti-communist protesters in North Korea?

Or the pro-secular protesters in Iran?

Why, if I didn't know better, I'd say that these smug 'anti-war' protesters don't realize that the only reason that their voices are heard is because there are no tanks on the way to run them down. The freedom of speech that they take for granted is in the hands of those who need it the least: those who are already free.

The ones who are truly oppressed, who need to speak out, and want the crimes of their masters to be known, cannot be heard.

Ok now that's the last straw. These peaceniks should learn about "Don't Mess With Texas".
