Do you know about the Massive War Protest in D.C. on March 17th?

Question

According to Donald Rumsfield, the failure to support illegal, immoral and unnecessary wars defines one as a terrorist. Let me be clear about where I stand: I know who the real terrorists are, and can name each one of them... Bush among the rest.

Everywhere you go in America you see the slogan, “Support our troops.” You see it on bumper stickers, flags and banners, yellow ribbons . But what does it mean to support our troops? Is it to send them into harm’s way; to invade and occupy sovereign nations in illegal wars for empire? Is it to ask them to commit heinous crimes, to insult, and to humiliate people who have done us no harm? Is it to steal the natural wealth & resources that belongs to other nations and turn it over to American corporations?

If that is what it means, then I cannot support our troops. I cannot wish them well if their purpose is to conquer other people, and plunder the wealth of other countries that have done us no harm. That would require me to endorse crimes against humanity conducted under the guise of national security and patriotism. I cannot do that...I will not. It is simply wrong.

Neither should we confuse supporting our troops with supporting the President, or wrongful and immoral policies of corrupt government. The president and his ilk do not support our troops or he would not use them as pawns; he would take care of them when they come home broken and torn with psychic scars. He does not care about them...they are only a means to an end.

The best way to support our troops is to take a principled stand; to hold the moral high ground to bring them home alive and whole. A government must not be allowed to require any of its citizens to engage in immoral or criminal behavior on its behalf. When a government behaves like a crime syndicate it does not mean that the people should follow its example. They must provide a better alternative, and refuse their allegiance to it.

So if the failure to support a government’s wrongful policies makes me a terrorist so be it. If speaking truth to power makes one a terrorist sign me up! If exposing the lies and corruption makes me a terrorist... I will proudly wear the crown and bear the cost.

Answer 2

Boy are you lengthy winded. Why do you stay the following if you're so unhappy. I fought in 2 wars (became wounded in a million at 18) yet when I had the elect of serving again i could do it in a heart beat.so that you're saying BUSH is a terrorist. HOW do you come back by technique of that. Is it because he's struggling with them there quite of Boston , lengthy island or la? as A soldier of wrestle i went the position i became informed & did what i became informed to do. that is unlike deepest industrie, you cant quiet & flow some the position else that you want more suitable positive. it is a volunteer protection stress & each and each knew even as they signed on the dotted line it meant going to conflict. i'm happy with each of them. that is the properly desirable u . s . on the confronted of the earth& it truly is those self same troops you chosen now to not help that make it that way.

Man...all you can do is paste and copy the same crap and only change the location. But why should any one think you can compose original questions. This must be a handout by some radical anti-American terrorist group that you help fund. And again let me point out that you are making things up by claiming the so-call rally will be massive. As as a self proclaimed terrorist won't you feel like a fool when the protest is less than "massive"?

And as for your "speaking truth to power"...nice left wing slogan your handler has you spouting. When exactly have you spoken truth to power...and to whom to you speak...your junior nigh school principal...last week? You wouldn't known real power if it kicked you in the butt.

Answer 4

Bush is a terrorists? Really? He's not the one that flew planes into our buildings, or bombed our embassies, or bombed our USS Cole. He's not the one that chops off peoples heads. Our troops volunteered to go when, and where called. That's their job, and President Bush is their Commader In Chief. Illegal war? Really? That's breaking news to me. Bush hasn't been brought up on any charges, and scores of Dems voted for this war, so that means the war was totally LEGAL. Sovereign nation? Really? Saddam raped, tortured, and murdered his people, and dumped them like dogs in mass graves! Giving them the right to vote for their own government is humilating them? And what was Saddam doing when the raped, tortured, and murdered them? I guess you think he was a real stand up guy? Stealing their natural resources? LOL, do you honestly think Saddam gave them anything, or let them benefit from the oil? Never. Instead, he let them starve while he lived in mansions all over Iraq. No. You don't support our troops. You're calling them stupid when you say that they have no mind of their own. When you call them terrorists, well, it's plan to see that you despise them. Our goal as the greatest country in the world is to keep it that way by keeping the citizens safe! That's what the job of the President is, and he's done a great job at it. He's a hero in my book. With all due respect, your rationale makes no since at all. You despise the troops, call them stupid, call them terrorists, but uphold an evil man like Saddam. You'll call our President a terrorist, but fail to be outraged at the brutal, BEYOND brutal atrocities Saddam thrust upon his own people.

I do now, but the details of your post appear to be copied from another one of your questions.

Very disapponting, indeed.
