Not everyone hates the Communist Vietcong and their successors all that much. They have supporters right here in America:

For instance... [Photo at whitehouse.gov] "President George W. Bush shakes hands with Prime Minister Phan Van Khai of Vietnam as he departs the White House Tuesday, June 21, 2005. During the two leaders' meeting, President Bush expressed strong support for Vietnam%u2019s accession to the World Trade Organization and accepted the Prime Minister's invitation to attend the 2006 APEC Summit in Vietnam.

"Another half of a million in WWI and WWII so that Europe could be free, and 58,000 in Viet nam" (so Vietnam could be free ?)

WWII was fought in response to the Pearl Harbor attack. After the Japanese attacked us, Hitler shocked his generals by impulsively declaring war on us.

If Europe wishes to be free, let Europeans fight and die to free Europe.

The only way it's ever going to be defeated is the same way any criminal organization is by law enforcement and etc! Common sense should tell you people this but yet again there is no common sense in Bush or his followers!

LOL Man did you hit the nail on the head here. IF we had fought the Terrorist in the South the way these people are trying to do it, they'd still be lynching blacks in Mississippi. Terrorist are and will always be common criminals, treating them like soldiers and the like makes them VERY happy indeed.

I am amazed that there are that many ignorant people in America. The war protestors have no idea. When I see you I see people that have no regard whatsoever for the Iraqi people. They will be masacred if we leave now. You are the heartless ones. Wait till they come here and then what? Will it be ok then to fight for our freedom or would you just stand in the streets and protest that too? I hope they all froze their buns in washington.

Don't like that Freedom of Speech much huh? LOL It is nice though to know that somethings never change. You people have the same view of the freedom of speech today that you had when those Radical Liberals tossed that Tea into the Boston Harbor. Anyone who doubts what I say should pull us the printed views of Conservatives at that period and when the Freedom of Speech was put into the Constitution. You will find that conservatives today say the EXACT SAME things then that they say NOW. NO difference at all.

[grumpas]

scottyusa when are people like you going to grow up and join the real world????? Probably never! If Bush told you the moon was made up of green cheese you would probably believe it! Any one who is dumb enough to believe the terrorist's are going to follow us home will believe about anything they are told! The saying was so ignorant when Bush and his cronies said it, I could not believe there were actually American's gulliable enough to swollow this stupidity as a reason to continue on with an illegal war! Most of the war mongers don't seem to get what a terrorist is! Because they have went about fighting them in the completely wrong way! Terrorism is never going to be defeated with army's or invading countries! The only way it's ever going to be defeated is the same way any criminal organization is by law enforcement and etc! Common sense should tell you people this but yet again there is no common sense in Bush or his followers!

Democracy it has been said is a very disorganized way to govern. It is true. As a Disabled Combat Veteran of Vietnam I am incouraged by this Demonstration because, this early in this Civil War in Iraq, it shows that the People of this nation are not going to let it go on and on and on. I can remember like yesterday getting up in the morning will in Nam and going out on patrol. The fear was constant and came from everywhere. You see you didn't know who the enemy was, it could be a mammason in the rice patty that would kill you or a kid asking for a candy bar would blow you up. You were not one of them and you could be fighting and killing the brother of the guy you were with. It's just that ugly in Civil War. I can't imagine how these guys feel when you mix in RELIGION. Why? Someone PLEASE tell me WHY we are trying to tell this small country how to govern itself. Why? Why have we forsaken the American Spirit that's existed for over 200 years, the Spirit that carried us through the Cold War. That Spirit? The right of all men to self determination. These people have as much right to determine how they will govern themselves as anyone else but a much greater concern is that the Leaders of this nation have attempted to lead us into Southern Fascism and abandon the true meaning of this nation. We should be after those who attacked us in Afganistan or we WILL pay a very heavy price for failure. PERIOD.

Bush's own Christian base protesting against him. Is Emperor Bush going to send the captured ones to the lions?

Still, Americans worry too much about protests at home. Afterall, Nazi Germany had no protests and still got bombed back to the stone age. They too sold their souls to the bankers for world domination. And the bankers plan of driving the Jews to Israel and never having to bribe another nation by having their own personal military in the IDF and Mossad has never worked as planned, either. The UK blocked the Jews from entering Israel in WWII, held out on the Nazi retaliation, and the NWO plan has been spiraling down hill every since. Germany never made it to lead the UN and Israel can't even beat Hezbollah.

Even the freakin' Simpson, a cartoon is against you...lol.

"Im ashamed to read these comments from Americans. You people think the cost of freedom comes from a crackerjack box. 360,000 Americans died in the civil war. Another half of a million in WWI and WWII so that Europe could be free, and 58,000 in Viet nam." - pwrslm

You are obviously still alive.

What's the matter, didn't you value your freedom enough to die for it ?

P.S. It's spelled Vietnam, not "Viet nam." If you had been there, you wouldn't have misspelled the name.

I bet you can't even spell "Island of Grenada."

"Americans are selfish and stingy people. Our grandfathers stood up for what was right in the world, they fought and died so we would live in a better world. Today, we cower in the face of facism and totalitarianism. America is dying, its people dont find sufficient value in freedom to defend it." - Posted by pwrslm

Not true at all.

Not true at all.

"Denouncing a conflict entering its fifth year, protesters across the country raised their voices Saturday against U.S. policy in Iraq and marched by the thousands to the Pentagon in the footsteps of an epic demonstration four decades ago against another divisive war."

[crater7]

ONLY 3200 soldiers died in how many years?
How many of our SOLDIERS do you think should die?
WHAT DID IRAQ HAVE TO DO WITH THE WAR ON TERROR? Iraq, had nothing to do with the attack of 9-11. There were no terrorist in Iraq to justify the attack of 03. Please explain why this Administration found it necessary to send 3200 AMERICAN KIDS TO THEIR DEATHS IN IRAQ.
As for our borders, they are POUROUS, and have been that way for years, this Administration has done very little to secure these borders since 9-11. Our border partol Agents are not allowed to do their job properly, and if they attemp to do their jobs, they are arrested prosecuted and sent to prison. Of course that 700 mile fence on our 2000 mile border, will do the job.
Our Grandfathers stood up for what is right in this world; THAT IS THE ONLY PART OF YOUR COMMENT THAT IS TRUE........ THE PROBLEM IS, THAT THIS WAR IS AND WAS NEVER RIGHT.......

[skyk-2009]

ALL this talk, and ALL the march's & protests are a complete waste of time; the U.S. gov't always has & will continue to do whatever it wants, regardless of who is sitting in the oval office (Dem, Pub, Independent, whatever). Just the way it always has been, and is. Everyone's opinion, vote & protest is completly meaningless, and will be, until enough "protesters" DO SOMETHING, other than walk & talk.

I remember during the Civil Rights Movement a Fascist coming to our College to make this SAME plea. Don't go to Selma he said, Washington will not change anything no matter what you people do. You're only wasting your time. EVERY time the Congress of the United States RENEWS the Voting Rights Act I'm reminded of that NAZI and how wrong he was.

LOL Let me see here. BECAUSE you are a complete coward whos afraid that somehow these poor people will come here to fight us YOU think our invading and dictating a government to them is justified? Where the HELL do you get off telling these people how to govern themselves? Do you honestly think, even for a minute, give the Thousands and thousands we have killed, they will EVER like us? YOU are out of your little NAZI mind Sparky. These people never attacked us in the first place. This is a Civil War and we are trying to prevent it. It's no different than Nam and they will fight it out. When? depends on how many lives we are willing to sacrifice. If you clowns can't figure out by now that they are NOT going to go quietly into that good night you're out of you MINDS. Sieg Heil Y'all.

I would like to understand what makes people like you tick. You attempt to compare this illegal invasion of a soveriegn nation (which had done nothing to us)to WWII.

The facts are, sir, we will be in no more danger from the terrorists if we bring our troops home... much less, in fact.

Are you being paid to post your blather?

There is absolutely no truth to the things you post.

[skyk-2009]

Remember, you are on far-left central. CBS news, along with MSNBC, CNN, and other major liberal news networks will only report what supports their liberal political agenda. They only care about gaining the whitehouse in 2008, and that's it.

RIGHT! Old Singing Rick? He depends on the 700 Club and Rush for his news. Question for you Ricky and the rest of you fascist, why is it you constantly attack the mainstream news media. YOU have your own sources don't you. There are how many networks that make up the Reich propaganda Ministry? Is it that you just can't stand anyone who does not print the WORD according to Rove? Sieg Heil and Amen.

CBS, I was hoping that you would show an unbasis report on this. The key word was "unbasis". Since you didn't, you just showed me how much you are in the liberal's pockets. You should be ashame of yourselves. And for you yellow belly liberals that are reading this, come and find me and see what you get. I will show you war up front and personal
Posted by bpclouser at 01:06 AM : Mar 18, 2007

Yeah I know, you fascist have hated the Free Press since 1776. You know the funny thing is you clowns are saying the EXACT same thing today that you were saying then. Still doesn't make sense especially concidering the recent revolution of the Treatment of those Vets at Walter Read. If we'd have depended on the fascist press, we still wouldn't know that these kids were sleeping in Rat infested rooms. Can't have a bad light shown on the furhrer now can we? Sieg Heil

[skyk-2009]

These anti-war protests haven't even hit the news yet. So far, they're an excercise in futility, with few of the mainstream joining in.

This is about as rediculous a statement on these boards. ANYONE who can't see the growing anti war movement is blind. In our day, during Vietnam, the protest in the end were much greater but that war drug on for 12 long years. I appreciate everyone who stood up for what they believe in and I deplore what these two evil people have served on this nation for greed. May their place in Hell be one they will NOT enjoy for ever.

What give's you fascist the right to invade another Country without reason and tell that nation how to Govern itself? They HAD no Weapons to threaten us and they had NO connection to those who attacked us. They deserve to be left alone to settle their differences between themselves. You talk about the dead but like all fascist NEVER mention the overflowing VA System full of half men housed there. You people are worse than the Taliban ever were. SIEG HEIL
