How many of you were FOR the war Before you were Against it?

Question

Come on, be honest.

Answer 1

Good question. I often ask the following quesiton...............

How many of you bashing our president and denouncing your own country were part of the 91% of Americans who supported President Bush on September 20, 2001 when he said "We shall show no distinction between the terrorists, and the countries who harbor them."

What changed your minds??? If fighting terrorists and toppling terrorist regimes was the right thing to do THEN, why is the wrong thing to do NOW????

Answer 2

I continue to support our efforts in Iraq and hope that our country will stop accepting defeat as an option. Half the reason the rest of the world hates America is because we have a track record of starting something and not seeing it through to the end. Unfortunately it is now being taught in our school systems that victory is not important and that failure is as respectable as winning. This can be argued by the fact that many school systems do not allow scores to be recorded in competitive sports. Our liberal friends have been trying to make our children believe that it is OK to quit something when it starts getting tough. My take on this war in Iraq is lets unleash the gates of hell to the Iraqi's and show them what we are capable of doing instead of slowly bleeding over there because the American public doesn't have the intestinal fortitude our grandparents had to fight WWII.

Answer 3

How many so-called Christian conservatives were for Tom Delay & Strum Thurman before they pretended that these two have never existed?

Come on, be honest!!

Shortly after Thurmond's death on June 26, 2003, Essie Mae Washington-Williams publicly revealed that she was Strom Thurmond's illegitimate daughter. She was born to an African American maid, Carrie "Tunch" Butler (1909–1947), on October 12, 1925, when Butler was 16 and Thurmond was 22. To this day, the specific relationship between Thurmond and the maid has never been made totally clear.

Thurmond met Washington-Williams when she was 16. He helped pay her way through college and later paid her sums of money in cash or, through a nephew, checks. These payments extended well into her adult life.[5] Washington-Williams has stated that she did not reveal she was Thurmond's daughter during his lifetime because it "wasn't to either advantage of either one of us"[5] and that she kept silent out of love and respect for her father.[6] She denies that there was an agreement between the two to keep her connection to Thurmond silent.[5]

After Washington-Williams came forward, the Thurmond family publicly acknowledged her parentage. Many close friends and staff members had long suspected this to have been the case, stating that Thurmond had always taken a great amount of interest in Washington-Williams and that she was granted a degree of access to the Senator more appropriate to a family member than to a member of the public.

Answer 4

I was never FOR the war and I am being honest! That decision was absolute insanity! War for Peace? Ha - that's a laugh. War is War. Slap a kid to shut them up? Sure - the kid may shut up temporarily, but what have you taught them? That violence gets results. And the cycle is repeated down the line. Good lesson. As long as violence is the only way used to 'negotiate' we will never have world peace and as a matter of fact, we're probably going to destroy the world singlehandedly as violence escalates to deadly proportions out of anyone's control!

Someone better come up with a new plan and soon!

Answer 5

Not me, I am a semi-pacifist and against war in nearly every form (some exceptions being when a country is attacked, i.e. WWII or to end some massive human rights violation, i.e. to end a genocide by a violent regime) so I have been against the "preemptive" strike against Iraq from the very beginning.

Answer 6

Most of America. As 68% are now against Bush's war

Answer 7

When people realized all the lies that were told to make this war happen they changed their minds. Attacking a country and hiding behind the war against terror is a joke.

Answer 8

I've been against the war months before it started. remember all those anti war rallies in San Francisco before the war? Those people are looking pretty damn good right now, huh?

Answer 9

I was for the war and I still am. Proud to support the fight against the Radical Islamic Hoard any way I can.

Answer 10

Imagine! We actually believed Bush! Little did we know and little did the majority of the Senate and Congress that he, Cheney and Rumsfeld were lying through their teeth. Fool us once...

Get real - they cooked the books and plunged us into a war based on intel they wanted not intel that was true. Why can't you Bush apologists understand that?
