Re: I heard one lady screaming "oil is not worth dying for" at the rally. So I asked her if the liberation of the Iraqi people are worth dying for?? She, of course, couldn't accept that this is what would result from an overthrow of Saddam Hussein. OH, I see! So, it's all about "liberating" the poor Iraqis, eh? But then, why don't you liberate the Cubans first???? The Cubans have been oppressed by the same "thug" for the past FORTY YEARS!!! And remember: if you take on Cuba, at least, nobody will accuse you of doing it for oil --there ain't oil in Cuba!! Liberate the Cubans! The successful toppling of Castro will prove a STRONG warning/deterrent towards Baghdad. Gus

<<I heard one lady screaming "oil is not worth dying for" at the rally. >> Did you get a count of how many of the protesters walked or biked to DC so as not to waste any oil?

Re: Because who's stupid enough to scream out in public that they are "pro-war" and have some great desire to kill Iraqis?? Going to war is nothing to be proud about. C'mon, Hawk.... That spiel won't wash with me! It's precisely your job --or your Jewish spinmeisters's-- to explain to the world that you want to wage war "to save the free world", to promote America's values, etc. Since when it's stupid to stand up for one's ideals?? If KKK hoodlums dressed in full regalia can do it, why can't you? You were stupid enough to slug it out with the peaceniks, after all (). Besides, you can turn the whole pro-war demonstration into a big pro-Israel rally! Think about it, Hawk, thousands of demonstrators waving Israeli flags.... blue and white Magen Davids all over Pennsylvania avenue... of course, a few hot-blooded Zionist freaks will likely burn the effigies of Jesse Jackson, Saddam Hussein and Arafat --along with UN flags. Keynote speakers should include Rev Falwell, Netanyahu, Joe Lieberman, Wolfowitz and gang.... () Message 18460697
