i feel totally shit about the UK governments role in all
this . are we to be the perennial yes-men to the evil
barbarism and lie-mongering of the anti-human republican
movement ?

I'm from the UK, living in southeast asia , and i can
honestly say the distance i have from home makes me even
more aware of the absolute shit that this military-
imperialist bush-regeime is really about.

tibbar....

for feeling personally agreived or upset that people are
daring to slander your government for its wrongdoings around
the globe , you kick back and say "enough" .

Jeezuss christ brother, an attack on a government that has
imposed itself undemocratically first on the US, and now on
the entire planet , is NOT an attack on yourself or the
people in your community.....

But if you insist on giving your rulers an easy ride just in
order to patriotically shun all this anti-US disquiet , then
you ARE part of the problem .

'either you're with us or against us". I would love the
american public so much stronger if they showed Dubya' they
were against him, rather than just ordering the rest of the
world to shut up and get off his back..

interesting

american the lame

we gave the taliban money to get the russians out of their
afghanistan

we wanted to boost our economy by rebuilding iraq our way
(and stealing the oil)

americas govt has a very easy mindset to follow

WE WANT EVERYTHING NOW
(then they cry like new borns if they dont get it, or kill
people senselessly)

george bush is not smart

instead of criticising or generalising an entire nation
(look at how some of you word things) why dont you aim for
the one or 2 people you ARE talking about, instead of this
chunk of land???

good day

Washington DC is the site of many protests being held by
thousands of people that have surrounded the white house
twice. The multiple protests taking place have resulted in
shutting down the rich area (of DC) and increased security.
One of the more enjoyable protest groups, I do not fabricate
this, are the Naked College Girls for Peace.

Give peace a chance.

my bottom line is:

i'm happy that i'm old enough to vote now, and next
presidential election, my vote ain't goin' to Dubya.

=)

The world says no to war! The problem is that the USA seems
not to have democracy. How it is possible they want to
install a democratic regime in Iracq?

I've brought up the same point before, artemis -- how can a
country with one of the most easily corruptable electoral
processes (and that's BEFORE you start not counting the
votes of black people and people with similar last-names, or
getting the vote stopped ! Like, all the money changing
hands to get your name put forward as Presidential Candidate
&tc)... how can this Government have the bare-faced cheek to
have its puppet president stand up, face the world, and say
that they're democratising the middle east?

hi marlowe

true
and they also spent 11 years fighting AGAINST a free
DEMOCRATIC election that would have united Vietnam .

democrasy = "You can vote for whoever you like , as long as
our guy wins "

The best part of any democratic society is their ability to
voice thier opinion without having to leave (flee) their
country.

Just remember that most people that come across as
"anti-American" become vocal because of their disdain to the
American goverment's treatment of it's own people (along
with other counties), and don't want to see it happen in
their own country, or want a change.

In my experience, the real anti-Americans don't complain
about the war etc. and just stay at home and complain to
their friends about what they dislike about the American
people.

As for complaing, assuming that you're not complaining about
these people yourself, it's one of the first steps into
making a unifying front. Sure, it didn't stop the war, but
the protests sure made me feel good about myself that I
wasn't alone.

I think everybody has already made up their minds about
this, and the worlds angry enough as it is without throwing
more fuel in, so lets not insult each other for having our
personal opinions.

The topic isn not so popular as a few days ago. It seems
everybody is tired of the war. I have read more terrible
news in the newpaper: The USA will attack our little country
Belgium when we condemn people from the US-governement for
crimes of war. Anoher amazing fact: there is a chance that
Bush and Blair will receive the Nobel price for peace in
2004! No Joke! Our time is crazy: receiving the Nobel price
for peace for making war and stealing oil.
