Scottmandue, you are absolutely right.
"I frankly am tired of the "blame America" crowd and all these peacenicks who look past the evil done by dictators like Saddam and have nothing better to do than say things about this country "
Oh, you think Saddam is the only one 'doing evil?' How about when the U.S. bomed a Nicaraguan pharmacutical plant during the Clinton administration - an act that the UN forbade us from doing, calling it an act of terrorism - which resulted in the deaths in MILLIONS of innocent people because they couldn't get their medicine. Just because America does something doesn't mean it's "right".
I do not have long hair, I don't smoke pot regularly. I am a Dean's List college student, close to graduating cum laude, who just happens to care passionately against politics. Most of the people that I know are against this war, and they are not "long haired, pot-smoking peacenicks" either. They are intelligent and rational people. As a matter of fact, I have a bunch of friends studying political science, and none of them can make sense of why so many American people are tricked into thinking this is a just cause.
Would I have served in the military in WWII? Yes, absolutely. Would I have served in the military in Vietnam? No. Would I serve in the military right now? No, because I don't agree with what the government is doing. I would be a man of low moral conviction if I put my beliefs aside just because the government told me to. Am I liberal? Somewhat... I have some concervative beliefs, I have some liberal beliefs. Do I hate Bush? No, but I don't think he's fit to run a country either. Would I rather have Gore in office? Not especially, there are things i like about him and things I dont - but I know that he makes more sense when it comes to foreign policy.
