Local People March Against New War Policy.

[Chuck]

On Saturday Jan. 27th many local and regional residents attended a March in Washington D.C. to protest the direction of the war and the new Bush policy.

The March which included, what looks to be 100's of thousands of people by the photos sent to me from a local resident that ateend. I am waiting for more information and to see if see wants her name posted with this story.

This seems to be the theme accross America as in this related story:

A massive anti-war protest takes place in New York, and peace marches still are underway on the West Coast. NPR's Robert Smith in New York reports the rally there is the largest in the nation. He says it stretched 30 blocks just south of Times Square into Greenwich Village, 1.5 miles. Police estimate about 100,000 people demonstrated and organizers claim it was more like 250,000. Smith reports it was a peaceful event.

The protest is against the New Policies of the war not the Men and Women fighting it. I am reminded to mention that the protest are not down play the good that our Men and Women have done in the War or the orinigal policy or reson we went to war.

I'm not wanting to start a fight or anything, but coming from a veterans point of view it is impossible to publicly protest the war and say you are not protesting the soldiers. From the soldiers point of view being against the war is being against them and to me their point of view is the only one that matters. They are there now fighting and we should all withold our reservations about the war until they are all home, then we can debate if it was justified. Unfortuanately the time for that debate is over now.

No fight friend but I do disagree. We cannot get them home unless we bring to light the things that are wrong. We have a President that wants to add more people and escalate battles. Mean while we have a country that doesn't want this.

Our men and women need to focus on their job so they don't get hurt or killed. When I was in the military it was my job to do as I was ordered to do whether I believed in what I was doing or not. I did just that.

What we are talking about here is should we bring them home now with a job well done or leave them their.

It's not about the past reasons to not be in the war it is about bringing them home.

I much rather fight to bring them home now alive than to wait 3 years and argue after another 3000 or more die.

I agree Chuck, this is not like a past war where we booed and hissed at soldiers that returned home. And protested the soldiers, we are protesting whether or not the soldiers should be there. Which I believe they should not. I think they need to come home. They accomplished their goal, they got Hussein, now get OUR men OUT!!!!!!

I don't believe in their protest, but I defend their right to do it.
However, certain acitivites of this nature could be considered treason.
Do the words " Jane Fonda " ring a bell ?

................they wasted their time with the protest. Nothing will change till after the 2008 election.

I will say this..... we haven't been hit since 911.

When ( yes, when ) we get hit again, the protesters will be screaming to Bush that he hasn't done enough .............see ya mark

Before that the USA Lands had not been directly attacked sine the start of WWII. When he is gone we will not be saying anything about Bush in a positive way. Except maybe he didn't do enough in Afghanistan to get the real terrorist. That he started a war in a country that never attacked us.
