Cool tBLOG quotes:

"Soldiers dying in Iraq are dying to defend the US against terrorism as a victory in Iraq is a victory in the war on terror. They are dying to defend freedom and democracy in the US and to spread freedom and democracy to Iraq. They are dying for the interests of the US, her allies, and by extension, all Americans (whether they understand it or not). They are not dying for Haliburton, oil, or any other ridiculous shit / slant the anti-war types or conspiracy theorists want to spin. Haliburton is a company (among many others, both US and foreign) that seized a chance to profit in REBUILDING Iraq. There is a big difference between that and war-profiteering. Haliburton did not start the war, terrorists and those that support them did. Putting the chicken before the egg just won’t fly." -polymath

"[B]efore you [Europeans] write us off as just a bunch of sweaty, hairy-chested, Bible-thumping morons who are more likely to break their fast by dipping a Krispy Kreme into a diet cola than a biscotti into an espresso - and who inexplicably have won more Nobel prizes than all other countries combined, host 25 or 30 of the world's finest universities and five or six of the world's best symphonies, produce wines that win prizes at your own tasting competitions, have built the world's most vibrant economy, are the world's only military superpower and, so to speak in our spare time, have landed on the moon and sent our robots to Mars - may I suggest you stop frothing at the mouth long enough to consider just what are these ideas we hold that you find so silly and repugnant?"
- LynnKramer

"Democracy may have been invented in Greece, but cowardess was invented in France where it lives and thrives to this very day."
- RedTigress

"I'm referring to the Iraqi terrorist bastard fighters. The ones liberals insist are either not in Iraq, or are there by the thousands, depending on which liberal you listen to."
- noguru

"How is it that the Left can believe absolute crazy shit, like the Bush-Saudi Arabian money connection, or the even worse and totally false Bush-bin Laden connection (based on 100% lies) and look at you straight and say there was absolutely no way that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda had ties?"

Europeans Protesting for the Sake of Protesting
03.19.05 (10:02 am)   [edit]

10s of thousands of protesters in the streets protesting against something that already happened 2 years ago, the invasion of Iraq.  Give it a rest.

LONDON — Tens of thousands of anti-war protesters marched through central London (search) Saturday, past the American Embassy (search), to mark the second anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Demonstrations were also kicking off in other cities around Europe.


The protests were nowhere near as big as those held in February 2003, just before the war, when millions marched in cities around the world to urge President Bush (search) and his allies not to attack Iraq.


With international forces still facing a violent opposition in Iraq, protesters were divided about what to demand from leaders now. While some wanted a full troop withdrawal, others argued that that would leave Iraqis in a worse position than before the invasion.


"We got the Iraqis into this mess, we need to help them out of it," said Kit MacLean, 29, waiting near Hyde Park's Speakers' Corner before the London march began.


They can't even make up their minds about what they want anymore!  The protesters are finally realizing you can't just abandon Iraq and expect everything to be hunky dory, but they keep protesting.  Can anyone explain to me why they are still protesting?  We already get that you oppoesed the war, so what are you trying to prove?


If it were the Germans, French, Russians, etc. doing it, I could rationalize it with their high unemployment rates and a bunch of people with nothing better to do, but the British?

I lived in Europe at the start of the war, and it was pretty clear why people were protesting, TO STOP THE WAR TO BEGIN WITH! Well it's a little late for that, so why don't you enlighten me and tell me what people are accomplishing by still protesting the Iraq war.

I agree Defensor. People just need to get over it, it's too late. We need to finish what we started.

I would've already done one, but I never really had much of a position on it. But I do need to blog something....
