Bring 'Em Home Concert in NYC

dude can you not read ? i was against the war the day it started there was no reason to attack a secular islamic government. anyone with a half of brain would have realized that iraq is going to turn into little iran, due to the large shiite majority which makes up 60 percent of the country.

that's nice the iraqis do not was us occupying them, but we have to stay there. we caused all the problems by invading them and now we have to do our best, to put some form of semblance in place so the iraqi security forces can do their job within this decade.

you obviously know little about Usama and Al Qaeda. if you think my comment about us looking weak was just a flippant response to back up previous statements. you should read some books by peter bergen. one of the few if not only western journalist to meet Bin Laden.

by the way you keep on attacking me about not serving in the military. what is your excuse ?

Beetle-

Spoken like a true pro-war pussy, who is going the way of Dick Cheney by hiding in grad school rather than fight in the war that he thinks is so wondrous. Its a volunteer army indeed, then stand by your principles and fight instead of sending others to carry out your little bullshit fantasy.

The Iraqis do not want us occupying them, plain and simple. Just as I would not want Iraqi soldiers patrolling the streets of Brooklyn and toturing Americans in the name of Islam.

Please strap on some kevlar and fight in Iraq so America does not "look weak" to the "Al-Quaeda" or the Easter Bunny or whatever delusional fantasies you think are worth fighting for. I look forward to your posts from Fallujah.

luckily i don't have to go to iraq because we have a voluntary army. but let me qualify a few things for you. i don't support the war, but it is wrong to leave a country full of people in disaray. we have an obligation to the iraqis for the duration of the insurgency that is griping the country and the ongoing civil war, that is about to reach a whole new level. plus if we leave now we will be perceived as weak, by our real enemy al qaeda. if you know anything about al qaeda Somalia and our response to the Us Embassy bombings in Africa was one of the main reasons they attacked us here in the United States.

next time don't argue with a poli sci student you will always get owned.

Whoa, I'm paying attention! Michael Stipe and Rufus Wainwright are my kind of foreign policy wonks: so smart and worldly I feel stupid. And Cindy Sheehan too? I'm going back to college to make myself ready for their tuition cause right now brother, I'm not worthy.

NoLa-

That is why I don't listen to drug addicts like Bush and Limbaugh on foreign policy issues.

I always defer to illiterate drug addicts on foreign policy issues.

Beetlebum,

More the reason to strap on some kevlar and get your ass over there.

lame, you can't bring the troops home now the country is in more disarray now then it was last year.

These kinds of concerts worked so well to get Kerry elected in 2004.
