Just so everyone knows, I did my four years in the military and my husband is still in. We are hoping our children will enlist, too because we feel there is much more to come of the present war. I think it's possible for it to come to the U.S. I hope people like Cindy Sheehan are front and center when that happens-with their little signs and T-shirts!

When they tell you violence isn't the answer, punch them. Then help them up. Apologize. Punch them again.
Sooner or later, they'll get the idea that yes, sometimes, violence is the answer.

This is a strange question. It's fairly common for anyone against the crimes Israel is commiting to be called anti-semitic or a nazi, and yet seeing as the majority of America seems to be pro-Israel it would a bit odd for them all to be called Zionists, and it's certainly not something I've seen happen. Have you read the bible or torah? There are some pretty horrific things written there too. Most Muslims are pretty OK with the Jewish religion, and consider them closer than Christians or Atheists. You can't judge a country by their religion (and just btw not all Palestinians are Islamic). Israel has imprisoned it's own peace activists, shot an American citizen on a peaceful aid boat, shot ambulance workers, targeted the home of an Israeli doctor working in Palestine killing his daughters, bombed UN sites and news sites. Perhaps that's why you feel anyone against Israel is a peace activist; because Israel makes such a point of targeting peace activists and aid workers.

Wow Jiggity, it is sad that you think this war will still be raging when your children are old enough to fight it. Yet it is even sadder that you want them to fight it. What ever became of the Christian Principle of "...as we forgive those who trespass against us...". We not the Christian Nation that the so-called Religious Right say we are. How long would Jesus Christ fight this war? I am a peace activist and we have always been peaceful. To do anything else is hypocritical.

You are contradicting yourself! You ask why they're not peaceful, yet you bring up peaceful protester Cindy Sheehan who waited months in the scorching sun outside of Bush's ranch just to be able to talk to him and ask him about why we're at war. Of course he's too good to get out of his limo suring one of his many vacations to talk to a grieving mother.

99.999% of peace activists are peaceful. 100,000 activists hold a peaceful demonstration against the WTO, and then some idiot throws a brick through a Starbucks window. Guess what the media reports.

They're not peace activists, they're surrendur and defeat activists.

Peace activists aren't peaceful because peace isn't what they're looking for.

Your question has nothing to do with your paragraph.
I'm also in the military, and the last time I checked Peace activists are Peaceful. If you would, please give me a reference to this violence. Usually it's the police beating on the protestors.
Still waiting for that reference..
