I applaud your efforts in protesting "the surge," and I want to join the the demonstrators in opposing this administration in September. We need to make our government fear the people not vice versa.Rich_Of_Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948386342600634949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26190019.post-50406883364695160452007-07-19T12:03:00.000-07:002007-07-19T12:03:00.000-07:00Actually, I flew out to Washington DC for the prot...Actually, I flew out to Washington DC for the protest march on January 29th of this year (after the announcement of "the surge") and there were at least 500,000 people there. I lived in Europe when this whole Iraq bullshit started so I have a pretty good idea of what a half mil looks like.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we did take to the streets but the administration just didn't care. Apparantly, the marches on Washington that helped to change the Vietnam War only had about 50,000 people, but the difference is that those administration's feared reprocussions of angering the people and the Congress. This one doesn't. <BR/><BR/>There is an impeachment march being scheduled for September 15th. I think I'm going to go (luckily I have earned enough credit card points for a cross-country flight). If enough of us organize now, maybe we can get this one over a million. I truly believe that the only way taking to the streets will work this time around is if we get huge numbers.Jennifer Brineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348336664484695694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26190019.post-23400180664608516012007-07-19T00:11:00.000-07:002007-07-19T00:11:00.000-07:00Jen,It definitely does, and this isn't entirely Bu...Jen,<BR/><BR/>It definitely does, and this isn't entirely Bush's doing. Bill Maher had a good point when he said Bush's incompetence is two-fold. A leader cannot be this bad for this long without the acquiescence of those he rules. Therefore Congress was complicit and, if I may be so bold, you, I and everybody who didn't protest in the streets are to blame as well. Thankfully, I firmly believe it's never too late to turn back. There's always time to stop corruption. My problem is we aren't.Rich_Of_Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948386342600634949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26190019.post-9877683954830596842007-07-18T17:06:00.000-07:002007-07-18T17:06:00.000-07:00It does feel like we're moving backwards sometimes...It does feel like we're moving backwards sometimes, doesn't it?Jennifer Brineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348336664484695694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26190019.post-56518871035227404332007-07-18T03:08:00.000-07:002007-07-18T03:08:00.000-07:00yes, he was before his time.what did he think of w...yes, he was before his time.<BR/><BR/>what did he think of western civilization?<BR/><BR/><BR/>he said "It would be a very good idea."<BR/><BR/><BR/>his estimation of the State of Israel was also prophetically correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
