    Too bad 90% of the people at these rallies are exactly like the people in the video, and yes 90% of the supporters of military action are the same way.

    It's in quicktime and it's well worth the wait to watch.

    Best quote is "Patience is a virtue, we could kill them with kindness"

    That is quite possibly the greatest thing i have seen in regards to the current Iraq situation. It exposes the anti war crowd to be uneducated, and pretty mindless. I'll admit the pro freedom side has its share of mindless morons, for i have met some. But almost all of the global protestors arn't for peace. They just love getting together and roasting bush for their own imagined reasons.

    That really took me back to college, but not in a good way. Harmless though, just fun to watch. I remember one of my roommates fuming and ranting about Ollie North. I wasn't interested in COL North one way or the other, but this guy was talking out of his azz, so as the devil's advocate and an amused audience I had to ask "what exactly has Ollie North done?" His reaction was entertaining. He looked down for a moment, and seemed to have a bit of a revelation. He didn't know. What were the odds that someone would ask him to explain his conviction? He admitted that he didn't really know, but he was pretty sure it must have been something.

    It wasn't that he was right or wrong, it was that he just parroted what other "wise and just" students were so indignant about. Entertaining.

    Wow...now that was funny. You'd think such opinionated people would have stronger support for their argument. I can't recall who, but in one of the other protest threads someone posted a picture of sheep and I got a huge kick out of it. At the time I just thought it was a funny shot at the opposing side and actually considered those who protest the opposite of what one might qualify as "sheep." But after watching this video I might have to take this back. Not one person interviewed could provide any support for their argument. However, one guy got one thing right, "The US, and the world should disarm and rid themselves of all chemical and biological weapons." Nuclear...not so sure. Interesting video, I suggest everyone, no matter your stance, should take a few minutes and watch this thing straight through. But Dante got it right when he said that 90% of both sides are the exact same way.

    "What is the real reason?"
    "...world domination."

    Bulls**t. I will be the first global ruler. No way is a guy like Bush going to beat me to it. :D

    OK, seriously... this is about as stupid an attempt at propaganda as the term "homicide bomber". Which is pretty damn stupid.

    And the discussions here "expose" the opposite.

    And you've done more than your share to contribute to that.

    Somebody please post a link to audio of pro-freedom supporters being ignorant like these dweebs. Until otherwise, I will continue to believe that 98% of anti-freedom marchers are naive idiots and likewise only 5% of pro-freedom supporters are as misinformed and ignorant. Prove me wrong.

    Audio? I don't know of any that makes the pro-war people look good, either. But VIDEO?

    About the video: You know how people complain about Michael Moore because he edits things in a way that make him look good and make others look stupid?

    Hey, at least you're now admitting that Bush is "pro-freedom". That's a start. You're on the road to recovery.

    Two days and not a link. I guess there are no junior Michael Moore's out there in the liberal establishment.

    Please, next time there a pro-war rally large enough to get a critical mass, tell us all so we can go with digicams. To my knowledge there hasn't been one, but maybe in Michigan it's how you've been spending your Saturdays for months now.

    that's right there are no large mass pro-war rallies because most pro-war individuals aren't sheep who think they're gonna fix anything by walking around in the streets.
