Not in their name!
You know all of those people who walk around with signs saying "Not in our name!"? I say we go out, get them to write their names down, and then we declare that this war is not being fought in their names.
Hey, they can't bitch anymore.

I like that idea. Course there free to renounce their citizenship and move if they want to. Its win win for both sides.

Good idea. And we can send that list to Saddam on the side of a MOAB.kojikun wrote:You know all of those people who walk around with signs saying "Not in our name!"? I say we go out, get them to write their names down, and then we declare that this war is not being fought in their names.

No, I'm not exaggerating.

One thought Bin Laden hates us because we support Isreal, who in turn opposes Yasser Arafat, HIS BROTHER.
Another was utterly certain that Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran were in AFRICA.

GA! Idiocy of that level can't be fought with conventional logic based incendiary and fragmentation munitions.IG-88E wrote: I shit you not. Some of these people are completely ignorant.

It's actually fairly common for people not to be able to place Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan on a map let alone name their capitals and leadership. I guarantee you that some of the people on this could not manage to do all that.
As for Osama Bin Laden? Millions of Americans against the war are now convinced that terrorists are owed some sort of "apology" and that we must back down and bow in shame to the Arab world in general. Embaressed by American power and terrified that people could actually hate us - and them -, protestors are worried that we need to become part of the international community in order to curry favor. They don't see that the one on top always gets the most abuse.

Hardly. As for myself, I saw the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan as a just cause. Unfortunately, the coalition of U.S., British, etc. never captured Mullah Omar or Bin Laden himself nor did they stamp out the threat of Al-Qaeda entirely.Axis Kast wrote:As for Osama Bin Laden?

Iraq - West of Iran, North of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, East of Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel, South of Turkey. Ruled by, ofcourse, Saddam Hussein.It's actually fairly common for people not to be able to place Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan on a map let alone name their capitals and leadership.

Iran - Between Iraq and Afghanistan, South of former Soviet states (Azerbaijan and the like as well as Turkmenistan), North of the Persian gulf. Ruled by, I believe, Ayatollah Ali Hoseini Khamenei
Afghanistan - East of Iran, West of Pakistan, between the two, and south of former Soviet states, lead by Hamad Karzai
