Guess said:
The Anti-war demonstrators do have a right to protest.
Lets examine the last three years of Iraq .
1) Even after elections there is no constitution and no stable government in Iraq
2) The money that was supposed to rebuild iraq has disappeared
3) Oil prices in North America haven't gone down at all
4) the occupation has now started civil war.
5) the number of civilian casualties from American firepower.
Where the FUDGE do you get your information from?!?!?
1.) - The current constitution of Iraq was ratified October 15 2005 LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_Iraqi_constitution
Furthermore, if it's not stable, how are they training police, building thier own military, schools and infrastructure like running water and electricity and holding votes and ABLE to argue about new laws and a way to run the country... It may not be cemented yet, but that's arguably "stable".
2.) The money to rebuild Iraq is flowing like mad through thier oilfields and through the major offshore oil loading docks that load up to 200 million barrels a day onto international ships that go to the world - that money is being used to fund the rebuilding of Iraq!
3.) Haven't you noticed the cost of gas for your car? It's about .86 cents on average where I am... That's a lot lower than about $1.00 it was at before!
4.) You can't pin the occupation on starting a civil war because there would already have been one, but there couldn't be because Saddam was using chemical warefare and gas attacks and slaughtering those who would oppose him! Ask the KURDS in NOrthern Iraq!!!! The Sunni muslims??? HELLO!?!?! It's just that now they are ABLE to have one... Because thier heads aren't being lobbed off for speaking out so much!
5.) What about it? Every single war, no matter who starts or finishes it causes civilian casualties. In WW1 and WW2 civilian casualties were INTENDED to demoralize a population and destroy a countries infrastructure and ability to make war machines - READ: CARPET BOMBING! The amount of civilian casualties in comparison to now days wars are MUCH lower... Also, what about the civilian casualties that SADDAM caused by killing his own people? READ: MASS GRAVES of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thier entire family trees that were executed for speaking out against Saddam, his group or the government...
*EDIT ADDED: Also, why didn't these same protesters who value human life so much make mass demonstrations about the killing of almost 1 MILLION people in Rwanda, ever hear of that little battle? Again READ: ETHNIC CLEANSING!*
Pull your head out of your a$ my fellow Canadian and READ between the lines... Everything CBC or BBC or MSNBC or the world news agencies say doesn't mean that's exactly how it is!!!
I suggest you stop posting all this crap you pull out of your head and just start educating yourself. At least in this country you have that chance, because this time, now, was paid for in thick red blood by patriotic Canadians who died by the hundreds of thousands to preserve our way of life OVER THERE away from home in WW1 and WW2.
READ: STFU and take it with a grain of salt that you realize your talking out of your ***.
Yes, your right about one thing, everyone should be happy we can protest to be warmongers or protest to hate war. Good for us.
