Name one.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence) -
C'mon now Tass, don't give him that much credit. Only approx. 48 million people voted for Bush... between 16%-16.5% of America.Remember, 49.9 percent of Americans voted for bush, so of course they'd be for the war......
What's funny about those "Do you support war" polls, is that they are very general and don't get in to specifics. Most Americans, pre-War, wanted UN approval, and proof that this war needed to happen right away. Such proof was never presented, and after the bombs started falling and our troops were in danger, most Americans simply supported our Armed Forces. The question "Do you support the war?" became synonymous with "Do you like America?".
Personally, I don't give a crap about what the average Joe's and Jane's think. Most of them aren't informed enough to make a credible decision anyhow. What is interesting though, is that if you look at the polls when cross-sectioned with education level, anti-war sentiment was much higher for people who were college educated.

By stereotyping people into two groups, you are making a huge mistake. This may come to a surprise to you, but there are more than two political ideologies. And saying "lefties" are trying to take away humor is just stupid.Originally posted by Dissident
Well if it were up to lefties, we couldn't find humour in anything. They are trying to take away everything we find funny.
Humour helps people make it through difficult situations in case you don't know that. But being a lefty, you probably don't know that.
The Pope disagreed with the war. Is he a "Lefty" too?

Yes. He also wanted to, and did, kill a sh*tload of people.Saddam just wanted his own little country. He wanted to build palaces and surround himself with beautiful things. He was predictable. And he didn't want to sacrifice his life for his beliefs.
Sava, you make Iraq sound like a goddam Club Med.Lime roots and treachery!

Yes Saddam built all those things.. and one hell of a nice yacht. It was a Club Med for him and his innercircles. It was pure **** for the Iraqi people... years of starvation while Saddam and his men eat caviar.
