Hmmm, I think that the people that were against the war against England have died some time ago, I'm afraid.
If you mean the protestors of the current war in Iraq, of course not! What better way to celebrate freedom than by denying it to others?
Seriously though, you do a disservice to yourself by equating all wars. By your logic all wars are equal, whether fought for just or unjust reasons. If we invaded Japan tomorrow because we are tired of products sold in america having japanese names, should the protestors of that war not be allowed to celebrate independence day because "independence came at the cost of war"?
I will give you the benfit of the doubt and assume that you are making a joke in order to highlight the stupidity of those who really think this way.

Yes. Independence Day is the celebration of the creation of America. That has nothing to do with the war that is occurring. Just because they are not for the war doesn't really mean that they are not for America.

Because this is America and we have the freedom to protest anything we want to protest. Just because a person doesn't agree with the war in Iraq doesn't mean they aren't good citizens or that they should be banned from celebrating our freedom. To ban them from doing so would be to take away their freedom and then we would be like the countries we despise - Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc. LET FREEDOM RING

Yes! War is a horrible thing and even though it gave us out independence, it still is bad. if the protesters are americans nothing can stop them from celebrating because its their country too.

Hello! "independence." The right to protest is one of the rights of democracy that we celebrate. Believe it or not, most soldiers get that. I support our soldiers, and respect them, but I am against war, and I want our troops to come home. They are fighting for freedom, so when you see protestors, remember that's what our country is all about.

well should anyone celebrate...idependence from what?The english...or What is the celebration really about.
And do you think the irakis should celebrate independence day when the americans leave?
Do you like war?
Why should people against the war be treated any different.
I m against all wars or voilence
Imagne if irak invaded the states ecause bush isa terrorist...executing ,torturing people...just like saddam used to do
I mean building prisons in other countries so they can break the law and torture.
How can we be friends with someone who says ;if you are not my friend then you are my enemy...and attacks without thinking..
This is my view..I spoke to many americans and asked why is the us still in iraq?
They all said;security
Security?????,In iraq????
Please explain...do you like this war...do you think its necessary?

Yes they should. They're only against this war becuase they disagree with why it was started, but that doesn't mean they would have been against the Revolutionary war. Everyone should have the same freedom to celebrate the birth of our nation.

Of course they should. We are celebrating our country's independence from Britain. The protestors are against the war because they don't think this war is legitimate (ie its about oil control, its about revenge etc)

Rights of Free speech means that you cant determine how another person views anything (as long as it is not destructive of course). So I would say yes with out a doubt.
It is a great freedom, but it has its down sides I will admit. Especially if someone disagrees with me and has more energy to express their opinion then I.

do you know why people protest the war? are you old enough to vote? Have you ever asked the reasons for the protest? Blanket statements on line are no better than the statement in one to one conversation.
