I'm very bothered by the anti-war protesters that I have been seeing. While we haven't had a huge rally in Nashville like those that have been seen in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, etc, I've been watching them on the news. Yes, I believe everyone has the right to their own opinion and has the right to voice it. However....
*Our military and our president deserve respect, whether you like the cause or not.
*Why should the opinion of others be shoved in my face and disrupt anyone's day?
*What is being acheived? The war has started and it won't stop because some people oppose it.
*A large number of protestors cannot come up with an intelligent argument against it.
I was really shocked to see such a huge turn-out in NYC. I know it's very liberal up there, but I would think NYC would understand better than anyone that terrorism needs to be stopped.
And like someone else said, saying that this is for oil is absurd. We get more oil from Canada and Mexico, and you don't see us bombing Toronto.
Yes, if we could have peace at all times, that would be fabulous. But when we have villians like Hussein and Bin Laden among our ranks, peace is not always an option. We don't need a bunch of wild protestors in the streets to pass along the fact that not everyone supports the war. Well duh. Anyone would know that.
Anyway, if someone is educated on the facts and opposes it, I have no problem with that at all. But to be uneducated and be so arrogant and forceful about it does bother me.
That's just my two cents, if it's worth that. Not meant to offend anyone, just something I feel strongly about.
