how many years in prison do you suggest that people should get for disagreeing with the war in Iraq ?

Question

or maybe concentration camps. if we are at war is it ok to be against the war will this give the enemy motivation to keep fighting if we are unsure about the war and divided ?

Answer 1

Freedom of Expression and Speech keep us out of prison.. so why even think about imprisonment?

There is no legal war in Iraq, or anywhere else. Congress never Declared War. Frankly, I agree with another responder---it is absolutely illegal and unconstitutional.




"Why Won't Congress Declare War?

Two weeks ago, during a hearing in the House International Relations committee, I attempted to force the committee to follow the Constitution and vote to declare war with Iraq. The language of Article I, section 8, is quite clear: only Congress has the authority to declare war. Yet Congress in general, and the committee in particular, have done everything possible to avoid making such a declaration. Why? Because members lack the political courage to call an invasion of Iraq what it really is- a war- and vote yes or no on the wisdom of such a war. Congress would rather give up its most important authorized power to the President and the UN than risk losing an election later if the war goes badly. There is always congressional "support" for a popular war, but the politicians want room to maneuver if the public later changes its mind. So members take half steps, supporting confusingly worded "authorizations" that they can back away from easily if necessary." http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2002/tst101402.htm

Answer 2

On Oct. 11th, 2002 the Senate approved the Iraq War resolution by vote of 77 to 22. The war was approved by congress so get off of calling it Bush's war. Anybody has the right to be against the war but at least be intelligent about it and use facts and not a bunch of lies> President Bush used the same information that President Clinton had and said Iraq should be held acountablePlease if someone could explain why it's true when Clinton uses the same info , and it's a lie when Bush uses that very same info???????

Answer 3

People have the right to disagree with a War...especially a war that is illegal. Wars are declared by Congress, not by a President. Congress never issued a "Declaration of War". ONLY Congress can do that. This War is illegal. I am against it. The Bush Family has along history of 'Trading With the Enemy"... Remember, Senator Prescott Bush of Connecticut had assets frozen due to his 'financing' the Nazi regime. So, I ask, do we really believe that NO money is going into the pockets of the Elite? Can anyone really be so naive as to think Cheney, Halliburton, the Walkers, and The Bushes aren't making money on this War?

Answer 4

First and foremost, isn't the freedom of speech one of the most important freedoms we enjoy in this country? Why do Republicans want to take that away? I don't ever understand you guys. Pro-America? What America?

You can't name one good thing other than the economy that we have benefitted by having this war. We've had a record number of attempted terrorist attacks since the war has started, spent a half trillion dollars, and have broken the Geneva Convention more times than the countries that we look down upon for doing the same thing. How many Iraqi lives were lost for our better economy?

You want to make this country a better place? Support the Afghanistan war. They 1) hurt us, 2) had something we could win out of winning that war (getting rid of the Taliban) 3) Bin Laden is still alive!!!

Answer 5

Why now not simply revamp the whole tax approach??? I believe that all of us must pay a flat tax of say 15% of our annual sales in taxes. EVERYONE - you're making $a million.five Billion, you pay 15% of that during taxes. You make $one hundred,000, you pay 15% of it in taxes. No "shelters". No "cuts". No "breaks". Pay that a lot. If you pay in adequate forward of time, then you don't have anything to fear approximately. But sitting right here and short of to reduce matters is instead complicated. What I might now not desire to pay for and what anyone else might now not desire to pay for are very exclusive. Personally, I DO believe that Farm Subsidies are very principal. Why? Well, I reside in a farming neighborhood, and I see that the ones farmers are not rolling in dough. They ought to purchase the entire equipment to reap and milk, and so they ought to pay the participants that aid out (a few have a bit a lot to do all on their possess). Then they ought to pay estate taxes (and for farmers, they pay essentially the most as a result of the volume of land they possess), and a few of them are purchasing matters like faculties and stuff in the ones taxes after they now not have children within the college. And then you definitely desire them to simply develop and bring up to they are able to with out fear??? What occurs is an excessive amount of hits the marketplace, and the cost bottoms out considering the fact that the marketplace will get flooded. And in relation to the produce, it rots and spoils ready to be bought, costing hundreds of thousands. And if the cost does cross low adequate, it does not pay to supply. I imply, you quite realize what quantity of money a farmer will get from developing an acre of corn??? Not a hell of plenty. They are fortunate to hide rate. And milk? Forget it - that allows you to outcome in farmers dumping out their milk boxes as an alternative of promoting the milk considering the fact that they are going to lose out in the event that they produce an excessive amount of and force the rate down. Those subsidies are very principal to preserve the farmers round. You lose farmers, and also you believe international starvation is an dilemma now. . . It will likely be worse come 5 years. People have got to give up watching at what they THINK is unimportant. See, persons believe that if it does not final result them, then it's not principal. That could not be additional from the reality.

Answer 6

NONE

Since that is the DNC position and the DNC is the same party that establish camps last time.

It be more likely that those who think we should defend this nation against Muslim terrorists will be sent to the camps for reeducation.

Answer 7

Of course it's OK to be against the war. Have you ever heard of freedom of speech, Mr Hitler wannabe?

Concentration camps. Sheesh...

Answer 8

NO years. People have a right to disagree with the policies of their Government. Where I draw the line is the open sympathy with terrorists i see from the left.

Answer 9

How many years should Bush and Cheney get for violating their oath of office?
How did they protect America from terrorism before 9/11?
What were the standing orders Cheney had given before he watched the plane closing on the pentagon?

Answer 10

About Zero years would be appropriate...it amazes me that people who claim to support the troops are so willing to throw away the very constitution the troops swear to protect
