Ugly,
I find it hard to believe that such ignorant comments can come from someone who, upon our brief meetings, has seemed to be an intelligent man.
You stated a couple of times that the U.S. troops are fighting Mr. Moore's "fat ass". You couldn't be more wrong. I'm sick of misinformed people saying that the "Allied Forces" are fighting for our freedom. The reasons for this war are many and varied but, rest assured, the soldiers were not deployed for Mr. Moore or for you, or me, or any average citizen. One of the few reasons that has been ruled out for why we went to Iraq is American security.
Several CIA officials, along with the former lead U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, have expressed dismay at both the lack of information and the administration's attempt to quell all intelligence that does not support its political goals. In short, no proof of weapons of mass destruction surfaced during any of the inspections.

I do agree that Americans should support our troops, but that doesn't mean that we have to support the war. And that damn sure doesn't mean that we have to support our shining disappointment in office. It sucks that I know someone who has perished in an unjust war... someone who I went to school with then worked with for 2 years died because bush got into a grandiose shoving match with a small time dictator. Real People are dying, more will die... you guys are supporting it and you don't even fucking know why we are over there. Open your fucking eyes!

but you're right, what good would it do to protest something that is completely wrong... I mean it didn't do anything to unite a country and help stop the vietnam conflict, or did it?
