....... and the list goes on

They should prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Just like Abortion Clinic Bombers, murders, child molestors, rapists, extortionists etc. They're crimminals, plain and simple. We may be liberals, but we're' not anarchists.

Death penalty; that's capital assault (well, that should be a crime) as soldiers are not in the same boat as citizens.

Oh my God! Handprints on the windows!

I mean, seriously: obviously, there are problems, but handprints on windows? When a moron like Malkin (http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080314/COMMENTARY/531645309&template=nextpage) is trying to make a general case about liberal militants and anarchists and what's wrong with America and the "war" against the military, such idiotic hypersensitivity only reminds us that it's not actually about justice and propriety but propaganda on behalf of the mass murder of innocents abroad. "The bomb"? It sounds like someone nuked New York.

Doesn't it make you wonder why she has to exaggerate? I mean, really: yes, we're to the point that people need to be tearing shit up in the streets, but that's not the role of small protests.

Oh, God, how about this one:

Arizona students said while they support people's freedom to speak their minds, vandalizing an Army recruitment display isn't the way to do it. Oliver Stickroth, a materials-science engineering junior, said vandals who demonstrate their ideas in such ways are just as extreme as the people with whom they disagree.

Voice opposition toward politicians who initiated the war, he said, not at soldiers who are just doing their job.

(Ramierez (http://blog.syracuse.com/news/2007/11/vandals_paint_swastikas_on_arm.html))

Let me get this straight ... swatstikas painted on an Army recruitment display in a mall in Arizona is the equivalent of killing thousands of civilians in a fraudulently-prosecuted war?

The macabre humor about that is recalling how conservatives over the years have blasted liberals for "political correctness", charging a bunch of hand-wringing pinkos° with hypersensitivity and exaggeration.

Notes:

° pinkos — For those too young to remember, "pinkos" was a slur directed at liberals. This term derived from the word "reds", which was a word for communists. American liberals were decried as watered-down communists, hence they were pink. During the Cold War, a common slogan was, "Better dead than red". This, of course, all went away after news agencies arbitrarily assigned the Democrats blue and Republicans red on the election returns maps in 2000. Who knows? Maybe with the Bush dynasty continuing, conservatives like FOX's Roger Ailes wanted to erase any suggestion of moronic WASP bluebloods.

Most of those are right-wing rags that like to give the anti-war movement a bad name. If they broke the law, fine, the law can take care of it. I draw the line at actual violence, but some grafitti or a nice bucket of blood on their stoop is a nice gesture. I might not be so much against them if they didn't set up in schools and malls, and if they didn't lie to potential recruits about what the army will actually do for them.

War on terror :thumbsup:

Stop the terrorising of Iraq and Afgahnistan!!

Yea, Bush's policy of strapping bombs around U.S. soldiers and having U.S. troops go on suicide missions is terrorist at it's worst.

Or how about U.S.'s military policy of kidnapping Iraqi citizens and beheading them in the name of Allah. That really pisses me off.

Those damn U.S. terrorists...... :rolleyes:

Would you exchange a 9/11 for a five year occupation and devastation?

I tell you what, I'd be kissing the feet of U.S. liberators that brought freedom and democracy to the country I was in.
And it isn't U.S. troops terrorizing these people, it's muslim terrorists. I'd fight along U.S. troops to stop them.

BUT, I can see how religious fanatics, neo-Nazis, and neo-Communists would be terrorized by the thought of losing power to democracy.

How about the Chinese liberators, the Russian liberators? etc?

The US was propping up the dictator that used chemical weapons on the people. No favors there.

Be interesting to see what USAmericans would do to those who kissed the asses of any occupiers.

And even "if" that's true, I HIGHLY doubt it's the U.S. imposing this on Iraqi women.

Yeah its not like the US topples democratic or secular regimes in the Middle East or supports oppressive dictators.

I say good luck to all those who oppose the recruitment of cannon fodder to support this hegemony.

That has nothing to do with what I said in response to PJdude....
