Huey, the 2004 election is more important than anything to the left. Anything. Steve

It basically comes down to Bush hating. "Lets call the "War Protesters" exactly what they are.. Bush haters. They hate President Bush, and they will do ANYTHING in their power to make him look bad or to take the opportunity to insult him. I am willing to be only about 10% of the people protesting the war are really truly doing it because they hate war.. The rest are just left wing extremists who are pissed off Bush won the election, and will do anything to make sure he is not re-elected. You want proof? Take a look at any anti-war rally.. Most of the posters or sayings have some insult thrown toward our President, they compare him to Hitler, call him a war monger.. etc... killing babies, you name it. Where are the protests against Saddam? Surely nobody would argue that Saddam has killed more civilians than our President.. but you never see a sign saying Saddam is evil.. Why? Because these protesters don't give a sh!t about the people of Iraq, the kids, the innocent people.. all they care about is their political agenda.. Which, in this case, is making sure Bush doesn't get re-elected." Then, once it get's going the man hating kicks in.

Hi Hueyone, when someone assumes we have very high ideals of freedom here, you can expect replies that show otherwise, for educational purposes. However, I agree with you there are more important things at stake right now than freedom - people's lives. Heart-warming to hear they saved Jessica Lynch. She was only 19. Maybe they shouldn't allow people so young to go to war? On another note, is this a typo? "Fear of the spread of SARS caused Hong Kong officials recently to quarantine some 15,000 residents in a housing complex." We may lose more lives through SARS than through the war. cnn.com I feel empathy towards Bush - what a horrible situation to deal with on top of everything else. Putting all debate aside, and on a serious note, why are we fighting this war? Does anyone really know? (I don't ask this sarcastically) Bush said it was because he wanted to "disarm Iraq." Does that mean Korean & Iran are next? If you listen to the bloomberg video from a week ago, I noticed Barrett said, given the issues with "Iraq, NKorea, and Iran." As if he knew what's coming next ? I hope Bush doesn't take us down the path of two more wars. This could get really bad. Regards, Amy J
