Antiwar Activism Digitalized

On the streets, in the Halls of Congress, in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, at the gates of the White House itself, and elsewhere, activists have opposed the Bush-Cheney Gang's illegal and immoral war in Iraq, as well as the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. This video, which features 90 photos, represents only a handful of the thousands of demonstrations that have been held across the country since the Iraqi War was launched on March 20, 2003.

So...the reason we invaded Iraq was to protect the Muslims living there from eaxch other?? I don't know if you're a veteran or not, I am, but I expect my gov't to be honest. Becasue if thats the reason we went there then Mr Bush lied. I also visit the VA hospital and come from a military family but this war is WRONG and illegal. Don't hide behind the flag, a true Patriot speaks up when his country is wrong and we are wrong.

Americans must work in the service industry because Corporations have ruled our country with an iron fist for years exporting all of our jobs and forcing people to join the army. BTW this song is really sucky and annoying.

Americans don't have to stand behind a furer and blindly march. If you protest the circumstances of a war that doesn't make you unpatriotic.. Patriotism is the last refusge for scoundrals. This music is god awful on this video

fizziksJunkie, they know what they're talking about. it is you and like-minded others who cannot see. war is no longer necessary. our advanced gov (10 years more than us) can detect any missile or any other attack on this country, we're fine. war is for our gov to make profit off of defense contractors so they could get rich whilste important things to progress as a people are less spent on. "terrorist" attacks are allowed only when they want war, no other time. to make us feel we want it.

I'm joining the army and its a damn shame if how I will fight for a country that's against me.

Bush was a hell of a lot more educated on the risks and reasons for going into Iraq than you Dumb-Ass antiwar protesters.

so shut the fuck up unless you have ANY idea what you are talking about

You know what I'm tired of that BULLSHIT cop-out excuse... Iraq never did and never will have any impact on my freedom of speech and fighting the middle east serves me in NO WAY...

We're not the least bit safer (although i never felt threatened to begin with) and more people have died overseas than during the attack of 2001....

"This you can do it bc i fight for you" is an excuse and non-sense, I can do it bc it's my right, and u fight bc u were 2 dumb not to enlist during war time...

World Peace does not start when the US stops fighting for others. In fact, if the US did that and decided not to give aid to anyone then we would receive a shocking reaction from all nations worldwide. As a superpower in the world it is our duty to solve conflicts abroad, some may not like it but thats a price to pay for being the strongest nation in the world. May not seem like it should be our duty, but who else would do it if not us?

You cant solve anything by isolating our nation. Sorry.

I do not believe that those who serve are horrible. I believe their leaders are horrible. I understand that sometimes we may HAVE to but from what I see from politics that is the 1st option they choose rather than negotiating in a peaceable way with the opposing force. I will support those brave enough to go to war, however, I refuse to support the ones stupid enough to send you to war. While it is a solution it is not the ONLY solution. It leads to the, sometimes, unneccesary loss of lives, :(

To all anti war protesters... I am a Master At Arms in the United States Navy.. i will head to Iraq next year around may... you tell us that we are horrible and that military does nothing for our country... well those anti war shirts your wearing... we fight so your able to even wear it... the things you say are allowed because we fight for your freedom of speech.. in other countries you'd be in prison or put to death so shut the fuck up!
