Who cares about Tim Robbins except pundits of the right-wing? As someone more liberal, I can tell you I admire him as an actor but could care less what he thinks about the war. He has no military or foreign affairs experience.
I am sure you're wrong about him "hoping" soldiers would be killed or whatever. That's just nonsense and part of the big exaggeration. Robbins and his ilk would like to see Bush fail perhaps, but that's not about the troops. None of these war protesters are against Tommy Franks or the troops, just the policy-makers above. And the troops dont even mind that, nor do they notice or care.
Anyway, right or wrong, protesters have a right to express what they're saying, dont deserve to be called "evil" or "traitor" and may actually be correct about certain things, especially in the longer run. Even Bushies admit they dont really know how all this is going to pan out, whether it makes us safer or not.
Again, you can agree to disagree if you like but calling anyone who expresses dissent "un-American" is inaccurate and missing the point unless they openly condemn not Bush but their country as a whole.
The fact is this isn't about America it's about Bushies. And let's be fair, the right-wing disagreed with Clinton every step of the way, especially when he was successful, maligned him constantly, threw a bunch of phony Whitewater charges at him, even impeached him as he fighting in Kosovo and was bringing us the best economy of our lifetimes.
Clinton has taken 100 times the amount of grief Bush has from the opposition. Time to start evening that up some IMHO. |
