If you don't agree with the war in Iraq you are supporting terrorism, if you question the reasoning of why we are in Iraq you are supporting terrorism, simple enough?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only UNPATRIOTIC and SERVILE, but is morally TREASONABLE to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

Oh to live in a world where all things are either black or they are white. Life is never that simple. Take a long look at the world and you will see that there is a great deal of greyness out there.
There is an argument that says 'If you do agree with the war in Iraq, you are supporting terrorism'. It just depends who you believe the terrorist is. Changing a regime to make it more like our own - could apply to both the US government and the various extremist groups around the world. I'm sure you would become a 'freedom fighter' if your way of life were being forcibly changed.

Simple, yes. However not only incorrect but a dangerous attempt to avoid arguement and impose an orthodoxy.
Say you and I share an apartment. One day we find we have a mouse infestation. You suggest getting a pest control company in to lay traps and poison. I suggest playing Led Zeppelin at full volume to scare them off. Now the Led Zep suggestion is ineffective, stupid and wrongheaded. It does not mean, however, that I want the mice. What it means is that I have decided on the wrong course of action to get rid of them.
Now you may be right (I don't think you are, but you may be) that the war in Iraq is the only way to get rid of terrorism. You are, certainly, quite entitled to argue the case that that is so. However others are allowed to disagree with you. Their suggested course of action may as ineffective, stupid and wrongheaded as Led-Zep-Pest-Control but that doesn't mean that they support terrorism just that they are incorrect about the best course of action to get rid of it.
Now your arguement seeks to lay a moral wrong (supporting terrorism) on a factual wrong (effective ways of getting rid of it). This would, if accepted, stifle debate and prevent getting to the best answer. What if someone did come up with a better way of controlling terrorism? You wouldn't hear of it - because you're taking it as immoral to even "question" the tactics of the administration.

thats cute. really. "dubya" IS a terrorist. Think of the deffinition of the word, and he fits perfectly. He isn't helping anyone. What happens in Iraq should not be our problem, they are not terorizing us. If you support bush, you should support Bin Laden also, i'm sure he could use mispronounced words to justify 9/11 as a liberation just like Bush does with Iraq.

Obviously this question is just for a laugh.
Ok,then. Ha ha.
If Republicans wernt so worried about the elections they will lose in the future,they wouldnt try so hard to confuse kids with this crap.
The question is also unpatriotic,which more conservatives seem bent on being these days.
Why has Bush emboldened so many terrorists,then?
Why are Republicans such loud cowards online??

No. But your party will do it's best to use this as your clever slogan and it will work for those dumb enough to think in such black and white terms.
Democrats have always attempted to play to such simple demographics with such simple slogans. Sometimes it works. Then the republicans have to come in to fix the mess.
Remember Carter. Wow! He sure knew how to handle the Islame-o-facists didn't he?
Doesn't seem to be stopping him from attacking our sitting president during wartime overseas and giving aid and comfort to our enemies though does it.
Ya think he enjoyed lunch with Jane Fonda while he was there?

Anyone who questions the war should be charged with treason.
Not supporting the war while supporting the troops is just a myth. You have to support both or none.

Why can't Democrats stop being such terrorists?
I say let Dubya kick buttocks until he is tired of it,or until the malefactors repent.
Go George go.

I really don't think the extreme far left could ever stop being terrorist.....they are so upset about not being able too be in total control of the country....they want a democrat in office ...and they will support anyone who says they can promise them that they will have a democrat in office in '08....so if that means not supporting our troops in Iraq....or standing up for the terrorist in their killing of innocent people so be it....to the extreme left democrats the ends justify the means......They want control of the country.....what ever the cost.....

If everyone just agreed with whomever was in power, just because they are in power; there wouldn't have been a revolution and there wouldn't be a U.S.A.
