If you oppose war why do people think you support terrorists?

Question

If you ask if Israel is using Chemical weapons... they assume you support Hezbollah...

If you criticise mounting civilian deaths in Iraq they assume you to be a fundamentalist.

Why is opposing war and cruelty being pro terrorism? I don't support Osama or any such formation but i guess i am not talking to them right now on YA!! It is largely people from the US and other civilized countries out here right? ie if you still believe US to be civilized!

I am not saying negotiate with terrorists... but dont run over countries on this excuse.. dont cause genocide... dont kill civilians... dont rob nations... don't create more enemies than you kill... don't destroy the values for which u claim to be fighting... in short don't be morons thats all.

Answer 1

Consider the bias of the people providing the labels. If you do not support the war, then you are not supporting the republican agenda. THEY label people unAmerican, liberal, unpatriotic, terrorist supporters, etc etc etc....kind of makes you sick to think they deliberately and systematically blitzed the media to create these false and unfair labels. people swallowed loads of this stuff and mindlessly spout back the intended labels when confronted. I believe that you support the troops by protecting their lives and bringing them home, instead of having them be at war under pretenses that have been proven totally false. A billion barrels of oil is not worth one drop of American blood, and hundreds of billions of dollars made by the greedy and immoral military industrial complex is not worth one drop of American blood. This is why the republican party and any democrats who don't scream bloody murder at their policies are not patriotic and have totally broken trust with "We The People."

Answer 2

Its not that you are opposed to war.Its your bias for and against those involved in the war that generates the type of responses you are getting.Your bias against Isreal and the United States is painfully obvious.War for oil????? If Iraq had pineapples then you’d be saying War for Pineapples???
`
Am I the only one that remembers 9/11?

Am I the only one that remembers that Bush said we are going over there to weaken terrorism in the Middle East so as to immobilize it where it originates to weaken the chance of them being able to strike the U.S like they did on 9/11?

Am I the only one that realizes that we haven’t been attacked since 9/11?

Am I the only one that sees the terrorists in action every day in Iraq????
Helloooooo!!!!!!! You think that may be why we are there?????????

Am I the only one that sees that terrorism most definantly originates in the Middle East?

Am I the only one that sees that terrorists are all over the Middle East not just Afghanistan???

SO THEN I ASK YOU FINALLY, AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STABILIZING THE MIDDLE EAST SO AS TO NIP IT IN THE BUD BEFORE IT REACHES ALL TIME HIGHS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Every time Al-Qaeda claims an attack in Iraq they validate what Bush said "We have to crush the terrorists where they originate, so as to make American citizens safer."
And for your comments against Isreal.
I think people believe that if Hezbollah gained Israel’s territory that they would be happy and all the terrorist conflict would end there. I know this is not the case. Terrorist Muslims hide behind a cloak of religion whilst they seek to gain ultimate world power. The Koran states that Allah cannot return until the world is cleansed of all infidels (anyone who does not believe in Allah).You start to get a understanding of why they hate the rest of the non-Muslim world when you read the tenants in the Koran and the Hadiths.I read more militant and murderous rhetoric in the Koran and Hadiths than I ever heard or read in my eight years active duty in the Army. These Muslim holy books call for them to do all that you have seen the terrorists doing in the last 50 years. It should not be a surprise to anyone that they are doing what they’re bible and Muslim clerics tell them to.Isreal is just a speed bump and the rest of the world is the mission. If you don’t believe that the average Muslim agrees with the terrorist’s actions then explain to me why they were dancing in the streets after 9/11.Good day to all of you, and may our future generations never have to endure the scourge of religious tyranny in the future

Answer 3

If you believe that Israel is using real chemical weapons then you are more gullible to believe other terrorist propaganda. General rule of thumb, most things published over Al Jazeera are biased and not really constructive to peace in the world.

You criticize deaths in the least deadly conflict in the history of America. It’s just not logical. This means you are scrapping for reasons to be against the Iraq war. Since you have to be on one side or the other, this means that you are on the terrorist side.

Answer 4

I know what you mean. Have you noticed what some say about liberals here? They assume we are not supporting the troops, for terrorists, and unpatriotic. Ridiculous on all counts. I have a social conscience, love my country and wish we had gone after Bin Laden instead of getting into a hopeless war over non-existent WMD in Iraq.

Answer 5

False premise. People don't necessarily think you support terrorists if you oppose war...but lots of people ask loaded 'questions' here designed to promote their political beliefs. I assume you have political beliefs, right? You have asked a number of questions....surely you have an opinion by now?

If you are willing to recognize Israel's right to exist, we can talk about whatever you want...else you're just a bunch of propaganda. Which is it?

ADDED: So don't negotiate with terrorist and don't fight terrorists since innocent people die...what does that leave? tolerating terrorists?

Answer 6

I think their point in saying that is that we cannot stop terrorists without war. We can't just sit them down and have a talk and a bite to eat to solve these problems. These people are disgusting hateful beings who will kill themselves to kill one of us. Unfortunately there isn't any other way.

War was absolutely necessary to solve World War II. As long as there are irrational sick people in this world, we will have to keep on reducing ourselves to physical domination.

Answer 7

You need to know what genocide is before you say some one is doing it.

The Rwandan Genocide is the massacre of an estimated 800,000 to 1,071,000

Armenian Genocide
It is estimated that one and a half million Armenians perished .

Darfur about 400,000

Jews in WW2 6,000,000

Answer 8

i'm against the wars and one reason is that it is not against the terrorists it is against harmless human beings. what share terrorists do you think of they have killed in this conflict? Do you think of they are all in Iraq and Afganistan or do you think of they are in yet another united states of america? the excuses we've long gone to conflict are excuses made up by using the boys in cost.

Answer 9

I believe it is because the conservative have adopted a very black and white view of everything. They are spoon fed simplistic solutions (tax cuts will solve all our problems) and bold ultimatums (either with us or with the terrorists) and they think the world actually works this way.

This world view lets them believe that they are on the side of good and everyone who does not agree with them must, ipso facto, be on the side of evil.

Its apocalyptic, self-fulfilling nonsense. Dangerous stuff.

Don't let them stifle your dissent!

Answer 10

They are brainwashed by the radio, all they do is spit back whatever their heroes say. And their heroes tell them that if you don't fully support the president and his war then you hate America and support the terrorists. They're fuckin stupid!! Sorry there is no better answer than that, it's all American politics..
