Answer 1

You are a victim of the fear machine the Republicans are pushing my friend. Yes terrorist are real. No doubt about that, but Iraq has nothing to do with any real terrorist plots against the US. What we have done is given the terrorist new emotions of hatred to exploit and use against us. Iraq is a mistake. it was based on lies and deceit and it is only getting worse. Bush has created a monster and will just walk away from it in 2008 like he has done with ever other big mistake he had made in his life.

Answer 2

I agree. Vietnam in the 60s was a totally different thing than Iraq now. No Asians, nor Russians attacked American targets at home; so how could a communist state 8000 miles away threaten America? (Vietnam until now has not sought to enalarge her influence in the region; can't say the same of Fundamentalist Islam). "Hanoi Jane" was just relevant maybe at the time but certainly not now because...

Americans and other nationals (Australians, Brits, Spanish & other civilians) have been attacked and murdered at home by people from Islamic countries (it does not matter if no Iraqis were directly implicated) in view of the global nature of Islamic militants/terrorists and Iraq's present condition.

She and other celebs and the insignificant number of protesters made the front page today in Malaysia's leading english language news paper headlined: "OUT OF IRAQ". The paper does not say that the tens of thousands who protested were a tiny fraction out of a 300 million population.

American media should not highlight this 'mass' protest on the front page; it appears as if a majority of US citizens support it. It's a pity that there isn't a "pro-US troop" movement to counter this shortsighted demonstration (i would not even want to call it a peace movement).

Answer 3

The bottom line for all yer people out there is that the truth is liberating. Right now, Bush 43 is having a tough time. And Bush 41 is weeping for his son. Why? Cause he's catching a lot of flack from so many people - not just Fonda. Give a mic to people around the country and you'll hear many say the same thing that Fonda did - i.e. opposition to the war.

The bottom line is that the truth is liberating. Bush went to Iraq with a lie. His bottom line was a lie. Americans feel cheated. They feel duped. They were taken. They were played. And now it's a mess.

The truth is liberating. Lies cause chaos. There is chaos in Iraq and Americans are having to face the result of Bush's lie.

The bottom line: People are pissed. Whatever else, at least understand that.

Yes, you might say that people should support the troops despite the lie. Well, that works well for me and you sitting on our butts eating pizza and watching The Apprentice. But for those whose children and parents and spouses are on the front line, accepting the lie is a tad more difficult!!

Don't look at the war only through your eyes. Consider everybody else's perspectives.

Answer 4

It's hardly a crazy thing to protest against this idiotic war. The whole concept of a "War on Terror" is flawed. Look at the U.S. They had something called the "Manifest Destiny" which was no more crazy than whatever you're talking about. The U.S. thought it had the right to cover all of North America! No thanks!

Mosques are places of worship. For the most part they are peaceful places, just as some Christian churches are.

Who are you to say what "the peace movement" "must" do? Are you playing God? If so, you're just as bad as any fundamentalist.

Your logic is flawed. Someone who protests against something doesn't necessarily have to protest against something else.

And how do you know where her mind is? You don't. That's a fact. You have no idea.

And to be honest, you don't even know that it would be bad for an Islamist "super state" to cover that whole region. It could be exactly what's needed to bring unity to all those people.

I preach hate?

Right...

Who's the one complaining about somebody protesting war? Who's the one who uses a hateful way of wording a question?
Who's the one angry about someone's mindset? (Of which they know little?)
Who's the one talking about protesting outside of places of worship?

Have you ever heard of the psychological concept of "projection"? Look it up. You might learn something about yourself.

Answer 5

Jane Fonda is not protesting this war alone. More Americans are opposed to this war than in favor of it at this point. This IS another Vietnam, only this time our troops are fighting in sand and not a jungle.

Answer 6

The peace movement in the sixties helped to tie our hands in the Vietnam war, which ended up costing more lives of soldiers and us to lose the war. It wasn't a good idea at the time and it isn't one now.

Answer 7

Wasn't she so extremist as to be involved in some weirdo movement that shot down our own US planes?

I think she was trippin' a bit too much.

Answer 8

I just wonder why the peacedicks don't protest the killing of 3000 Americans on 9/11
Yeah, Bush is taking a lot of flack...from the same dilweeds who would give him flack not matter what...and he is telling them to get f-ed

Answer 9

She never grew up.
