<It's democracy and freedom when policies are being formulated. The time for that was BEFORE the war>
As I recall, before the war, the Peace Party was told to shut up and salute the flag, and trust the government. Our Leaders, who had access to all the good Intel, assured us there would be mushroom clouds over American cities, from Iraqi nukes dropped by drone aircraft, if we didn't invade right now.
And during the war, we were told to shut up and salute the flag, since it would be disloyal to voice any doubts, while American soldiers were in harm's way.
And, now, after the "end of major hostilities" (when did that happen, again?), we're still supposed to shut up and salute the flag.
So there always seems to be a good reason to silence the Peace Party. |
