Well, the poll results are pretty much what I expected of this board, as well as some of the rabid responses against peace.

Standard issue nationalistic fervor, complete with gratuitous displays of destruction of anything not "patriotic" enough (e.g. Dixie Chicks CDs, French Fries, etc..) by unthinking drones. What's next, book burnings of Alexis D'Tocqueville?

At least the mobs are predictable. Tell them who to hate, and they give their Two Minutes Hate. Never mind who gave the Iraqis the arms and technology in the first place.

The mindless aggressive attitude is coming back to haunt us, though. The schoolyard bully is discovering the attitude of putting "a boot in the ass 'cause it's the American Way" doesn't make any friends.

So, here's the truth of the matter: The whole Iraq matter has been planned and set before September 11th. That's right, we were going to war with Iraq the moment Bush took office. The events of that day have become our Reichstag Fire, despite the fact the no link between Al-Queda and Iraq has ever been proven. Those events were the pretext for Bush and neo-conservatives to curtail our civil liberties, try to quash dissent, and put thousands of good people in harm's way in order to finish the first Gulf War.

Tonight we stand on the brink of chaos and war.

You arrogant, traitorial fools.
