@InsurrectionaryAct I love Chomsky, but he has his own agenda to further just like all political actors, Goebbels was a thinker to, doesn't mean he was right (please note ironic use of Nazi analogy). Furthermore, U.S. support of death squads in Latin America, is hardly justification for for the intentional deaths of 3,000 innocent people in New York, many of which were not even alive during the time period the U.S. was carrying out these activities.

@InsurrectionaryAct Once Nazis are mentioned the debate has officially ended since the person making that statement probably cannot be reasoned with, also reasoning by analogy i.e. "water" comment, is the absolute weakest form of reasoning. Water and war are not parallels, not to mention your reasoning is flawed as water can freeze and thereby not be wet. You seem to have some trouble accepting that there may be multiple causes to an event. Myopic reasoning is no substitute for good reasoning.

@JuErLe359 These people are doing what they feel is their patriotic duty as well...

Your Welcome. My brothers have died for you to do this. RIP Lcpl Schultz. And why the FUCK do you want to stop the funding. Oh yes, let's not allow are sons and brothers to not get the SAPI plates. Good Idea.I feel this was far more towards not supporting the troops then it was stopping the war. Yes they are saying stop the war. But in front of a recruiting center where young american's want to do what they feel is there patriotic duty.

No more war for israel !!!! we are doing israels dirty work!!!

[InsurrectionaryAct]

how is that ttrue, you imperialist bastard? the governments you are estabilshing in iraq aren't even democratically elected, they're appointed.

man, im must hand it to you, that thing you said about water had to be the comeback of the year. Kudos. However, if i may rephrase that, i meant water in it's liquid form.

No, what he said was the TROOPS are fighting for those things, and for the most part that is true. I know this because, believe it or not, I am one of them. Water is not always wet. It can be a solid or a gas. See? Not always so clear and simple. This is definitely not that simple. There are "facts" supporting both sides of the argument and individuals decide what to believe.

[InsurrectionaryAct]

Furthermore, this particular poster is as a matter of fact ignorant, and i was not saying so out of the fact that they support the war. They said, 'iraq can have a democracy of their own..." and the simple, proveable truth is that that's not what they're doing or intending to do, though i won't get into the reasons for this.
