You can assume I am stating an opinion but you would be wrong. If I felt that I was in a minority I would say so. I'll only admit that I have more anger in my posts, but that is more a personal problem, which brings me to think about the differences between the Iraq anti-war demonstrations worldwide, which are far more massive and widespread than the anti Vietnam war rallies but the anti Vietnam war people in the USA gradually became the majority of the American public forcing the USA to pull out after murdering 3 million Vietnamese and losing hundreds of thousands of troops in the process. So, whats the difference today? Why are the anti Iraq war brigades not having much success in forcing the hand of the government into giving up and leaving the Iraqi people alone? Here is what I think is missing politicalhumor.about.com and I am just as guilty as is Bush and Rove: If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy.
