what enemy? who was in the enemy in Vietnam? or in IRaq?

was that the realy motive behind the wars?....i dont think so
Vietnam: motive was to stop Communism from spreading throughout Asia

Iraq: motive was to stop Sadmas evil regime, locate and destroy WMD's and to stop terrorism

We pay them to kill. And the best and the brightest do not generally decide to run accross a field with an M16 as a career choice.
i know that but my main point is it gives the enemy hope that they can beat us, they are seeing us as a house divided therefore are putting up more resistance than if they seen us as a house united.

so protesting before the war doesn't make any difference then. so people should just not protest at all right?
i never said that, if you go back and reread my posts you will find me saying that protest all you want if you deem it necessary before the war, but once it starts it is important to stop and become united

i don't need to reread your post i already know what you said.

you're saying once the war starts, stop protesting because we look like a house divided.

if people protest before the war, then we still look like a house divided. troops are still troops before the war. enemy is still the enemy before the war. so whether the war is on or not doesn't make any difference. anytime there is protestors, we look divided. right?

so you should change your point to people shouldn't protest period.

Or should we say "Non Enemy is still a Non Enemy once the war starts."

Mclean, if you honestly think the Iraq takeover accomplished anything positive besides oust a cruel ass dictator you're sorely misled.

Nah dude Iraq basically invented Terrorism. Saddam, being one of the most secular rulers in the legion, and an entire nation crippled after the Gulf War with basically no capability to attack the US with any kind of force.

Yea, he was a force that needed to be stopped.
