Who thinks...

But what about the people who don't break the laws? What about the innocent people? What about the Americans at the detainee camp who have been stripped of their Constitutional rights who may or may not be innocent? I'm sure a lot of these people thought that it couldn't happen to them either. No one should ever think that it couldn't happen to them. I learned that a long time ago. It has been steadily getting worse, and it's only going to get worse from here. The fact that no one can give me a halfway decent answer as to why we are in Iraq trying to establish democracy when it has been proven time and time again throughout history that we cannot establish a democracy in Iraq until other things happen first proves my point. Well let me tell you, the things that have to happen first are not going to happen any time soon. History is bound to repeat itself once again.

Why are we in Iraq? Why did we go over there in the first place? If it was for Hussein, then why didn't Clinton go over there? Why has the government told us that the Iraqi people hate Americans? Do they really hate us? So many questions unanswered...

In the New York Times on August 17, 2006, Bob Herbert wrote an article called The Tyranny of Fear. It might put a different perspective on the situation.

KRIM: why didn't you just say "I want to argue about the war" instead of innocently posing the other 2 questions? Danzig answered your questions! BTW..you're like 19?..what could you possibly learned a long time ago??? I think I agree with Kevin!!

What does Kevin have to do with this? What did Kevin say that you agree with? I know not of what you speak. Oh, and I am not 19. And I did not want to just talk about the war. That is why I was talking about prisoner detainee camps.

I just wish, for once, that I could have a conversation with someone from this message board without them personally attacking me? Just once?

Besides Genuine Risk just got to the point for me. Thank you Genuine Risk. That was very well stated and my opinion is the same as yours.

so you're worried about the innocent ones, taken out of their homes? i really don't think anyone in gitmo was dragged out of their home. i do think they were dragged out of iraq or afganistan.

as for the woman arrested at the capitol, everyone has a right to their opinion, and to free speech--but they don't have the right to break the law to make themselves heard. we have a right to assembly, not to trespassing.

Again, some have been dragged out of their homes here in the U.S. Just read some of the articles that I posted. It's not an opinion. It's a fact.
