Give peace a chance. Why go to war now? Bush is using the war to promote interests of his big oil friends. Gonzo is my king.

What do all these statements have in common? Actually two things, first they are all drug induced fantasies and second each statement is held as gospel by anti-war protesters. I have nothing against peaceful protest in virtually every context. Anti-abortion advocates should have the right to protest against abortion clinics, PETA should have the right to preach retarded love-all animals like human dogma, and anti-war protesters are entitled to their opinion. However, I do hold a group responsible to understand why they are protesting, and furthermore to be able to offer alternative solutions to the issue at contention. I daresay most anti-war protesters have no clue as to they are standing up, so they should simply sit down. I listened (a conservative radio show) today as a Dennis Prager interviewed random students at UCLA, who were protesting the possible war against Iraq. One bubbly young woman had no idea who Iraq had invaded in past, another (who was a history major) felt that no war is justifiable. Both cases demonstrated the sorry state of higher education and more to the point the blatant ignorance of the protesters. Personally most people I know who are against the war in Iraq; do not even have a rudimentary understanding of the facts. You don't need a doctorate in U.N. diplomatic relations but you should know where Iraq is located and who they invaded 12 years ago. Anyway I am going to respond the initial statements and quell any myths surrounding the impending conflict.

Peace has been given a chance in the form of a few dozen U.N. (non-violent) propositions requiring disarmament. Also, over a decade has passed with little gained through peaceful diplomacy.
September 11th demonstrated America's vulnerability. Iraq, with Saddam Hussein and party in power, are a very real and viable threat to our future security. We had multiple opportunities to apprehend Osama Bin Laden and combat terrorism before the tragedy of 9/11. Instead we decided to wait and see. You know how that worked out. So, time is of the essence.
George Bush most assuredly has connections to oil companies and lobbyists. Guess what, so has virtually every Congressman and President in the last century. George Bush Sr. did not seize Kuwaiti oil during the Gulf War, in fact he liberated it. Economically speaking the cost of this war versus the potential profit (approximately 2.5 million dollars a day) from seizing Iraqi oil is non-existent. Profitability would not be accomplished until well after George Bush's second term was over. And, George Bush has repeatedly stated the oil reserves would remain under the control of the Iraqi people.
Gonzo was way cooler than Kermit and extremely too sexy for the whore Miss Piggy. Therefore he really is the king.

Go to hell
