[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] [QUOTE]Yeah, I've noticed that, too. Just about EVERY SINGLE pro-war letter in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says "perhaps you should've gone to Iraq and lived under Saddam Hussein's rule, and see how you liked it." I recall last Sunday there were, maybe, 15 letters about the war in the editorial section, and maybe 7 sounded like that. Just about every pro-war person I've seen or heard has completely bashed anti-war protesters, calling them anti-American, anti-troop, pro-Saddam, etc. You know, that's exactly what happened under Hussein's regime--people who wanted peace were repressed.[/QUOTE]You also have to realize something, it's their form of speech. Most protestors you see, are the anti-war type, you don't see people protesting the protestors. You read or wtahc them show their general detest for the anti-war protestors. That is what the freedom of speech is. You do not see them getting shot at or thrown in jail for stating what they want to say about the war. That is totally against what Saddam and other regimes do against anti-whatever against their regimes protests do. Keep in mind though that generally you cannot fully support the troops and be fully against the war. Because remember that the troops are fighting for, and when they get captured. They can be shown pictures and videos of epople not supporting the war. Making remarks that they are anti-Americans where they themselves are American. Can a POW fully fight against them, if their home don't want to be American anymore? No. Because when captured, that's all they got left. Read about some of the former POWs of Vietnam, when they were shown photos of American soliders being beaten by the anti-war protestors, that no one cared about the soliders overseas, and that no one supported the troops. How would one feel, that for they fought for did not want that? I am a Sailor, and if I ever became a POW, I would like to know that what I was fighting for, was supported by my nation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
