Vanderhoofengoatenanti war rally: will freeze for peace
January 29th 2007 19:18
so friends the anti-war rally on thursday was great success..i mean getting around 50 people to protest war in very conservative west lafayette,indiana is HUGE!! so i congratulate myself and the others
from the water fountain at west lafayette we marched towards the courthouse. wind was chilling..the banner i was carrying was just blowing away. temperature was around 25 F so..it was really really cold..strong wind didn't help.
at the courthouse around 5 people were waiting for us. waiving pro war banners and the american flag. but this time..we were stronger than them. all they could do was take our pictures. they were the College Republicans..that is what i was told.
speakers from lafayatte area peace coalition and local students groups made speech about the war. we all clapped, it was great when the passing motorists honked or waved to us.
well i guess if the entire country would respond to anti-war message this way American troops will be out of Iraq very soon....

I think the concept of a winnable war is being defeated in the public eye.
Some call this Karma.
Pick a war = Bad Karma
Stick with your mistakes = Very bad Karma
Try to fix it = Good Karma
Good Luck

It's funny that you called the others Pro-War. Do they call themselves pro-war?
That's a pretty ridiculous name for a group, no? They WANT war?

While we in the west can happily wash our hands of the middle east and tell each other "I told you so". We'r only creating a bigger problem not only for ourselves but for those left over there. Those who support the Iraqi government and believe in their country. The majority are being murdered by a vicious fundamental minority and all you can do is roll out cliches about peace and happiness. The Iraqi's need us there, and for the most part they want us there. You've never been there. You dont understand and yet you think you do.
Alaikum Wassalam, sleep happily and think of the children being murdered tonight because of their religion.
