    Hoek.
    Good to see you. We need another voice of reason.

    Most excellent.

      Hi Hoek, btw, if they supported "Desert Fox" then they were fully behind Rommels drive to take the Suez.

        All of these I would charactorize as being more anti-Bush then anti-war.

          Maybe that was a reminder about the 'ignore' feature.

            It may also be that because people are opposed to the war, they are opposed to the man who is trying to start it. Remember, "Hey hey LBJ! How many kids did you kill today!" My favorate from the last Gulf War (also a chegitz creation) "Send George Bush! Send Dan Quayle! Send Neil Bush when he gets out of jail!" I'm sure there were slogans against Clinton during his attack on Yugoslavia.

                  I saw almost no anti-Clinton slogans during either Bosnia or Kosovo.

                    What gets me is people who spend the majority of their brain cells coming up with idiotic chants.

                      There probably wasn't as big of an anti-Clinton crowd because Clinton was helping the economy... not destroying it. Clinton also wasn't taking away and suspending civil rights.

                      Since there are stupid people in all aspects of life; and stupid people in both sides of the political arena, why don't you guys attack the issues instead of the people? Just a suggestion.

                        It's not like there was a very large anti-war movement. It's hard to oppose a war when the media is shouting genocide and there are hundreds of thousands of refugees (not that every war doesn't produce refugees ). I didn't participate in that anti-war movement even though I opposed the war. I felt it was pretty pointless to try and fight it.

                            Let's compare the size of the anti-war crowd now to the dumbasses calling for Clinton's impeachment over Monica.

                              What is your basis of making such an assertion?

                              I presume you meant "wat with Iraq is not okay" here. What do you mean by "neo-cons?"
