Let's try this again--for the anti-war crowd

Get back under your bridge

Are you TRYING to get carded again?

 

Lack of information, focusing on rebuilding there country, suspicion of what may happen to them if they do...just think out loud here...I don't really claim to know.

 

They can't afford the placards and magic markers.

 

Why haven't there been any large pro-war rallies in Kabul?

 

Is that a pro-war or anti-war rally? I can't tell.

 

FACK! Da Bob Marley CD is Skippin!

 

There's only three of them. That doesn't count as a rally. If they had a fourth they could at least play bridge.

 

I'd put it down to their lack of movie stars desperate to fill the void in their meaningless existance. And considering young men have been expected to fight in some war or another for the last 100 generations, they probably also have a shortage of bored college students.

 

Why

Too much fear among the protesters of accidently treading on land mines or unexploded cluster bomb canisters.

 

Because I feel another song coming on!

Yesterdayyyy
All my troubles seemed so FAR aWAYYYYY
Now it looks as though they're HERE to STAYYYYY
Oh, I BELIEVE
In yesterdayyyyy
Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
Yesterdayyyyyyyyy!








...nope, sorry. Another false alarm.

 

b/c all the chicks over there wear head garb and full clothing. its not like here where you get to glance at all the anti-war sluts in their little apron shirts and patched cordury skirts.

 

probably because people were too busy running for safety and shelter.

Seriously, unless you've lived through a bombing campaign (which I assuming you haven't), do not take the liberty to make comments and assumptions about what these people have to go through or have been through. That is something you will never understand unless you are in their shoes. It is disrespectful and ignorant (in same ways that you get all fired up when people disrespect 9/11 victims) to make comments from the safety of your suburban cocoon or your college dorm on the behalf of people who have been affected by this terrorism.

Survival comes before protest when bombs are being dropped, though there are many who act in defiance regardless. As long as the media is in the pocket of the war-makers, no one will ever know the truth about what the hell went on over there.

That is something you can never understand or even imagine unless you are a civilian living in such a situation.

Do not disrespect innocent lives.

 

Why haven't there been any large pro-war rallies?

OK, y'all can lock this thread now.

hmmm, lets see...

a large massing of people in a public space in Afghanistan...

that's not a good target for a car bomb at all...

ok, enough sarcasm.

these people are trying to get their lives back together and there is serious risk of getting killed if they show up in public.

this isn't paris, hamburg, london, or washington. there are still many people in that country intent on a civil war and returning the Taliban to power. gathering in mass is a stupid idea.

mods, close this thread

Oh come on, SFM. Isn't it just precious how young Alex thinks he has defeated all opposition to Bush's war by posting a rhetorical question whose correct answers don't support his intended point? It's so cute. Like a puppy falling over while it attacks a stray sock.

I'm more of a cat person.
