Anyone know what happened to the tens of thousands of pacifists that protested during the Bush administration? 70% of deaths in Afghanistan have occurred under President Obama. I wonder is pacifism sort of like women's liberation or the civil rights? Is pacifism just a tool to be brought out by the DNC now when a Republican is president?

Before the Soviet Union was attacked by Germany, there was a pacifist red front called Youth Against War. After the attack, they renamed themselves Youth Against War and Fascism. Then, demonstrated for the US to declare war on Germany. They were still active in the Viet Nam war.
Um, it wasn't Afganistan, but Iraq, that people protested. Not because they were pacifists, but because Bush draqgged us into that war under false pretenses. As a matter of fact, that is why there have been more casualties in Afganistan under Obama - because Bush was too busy trying to make up for his daddy in Iraq, and never cared about Afganistan at all.
Did congress, including democrats, not approve of the Iraq war? Oh, you say, Bush 2 mislead congress. Did congress not have access to the same information that Bush 2 did and if not why would democrats in congress approve of killing thousands of people without that information. If you will do a little research you will see that Saddam Hussein had been firing on our jets daily which was a direct violation of the cease fire that Saddam Hussein agreed to. Most democrats are hypocrites when it comes to holding their own party accountable for their decisions. They throw republicans under the bus yet say nothing about their own party making the same decisions.
Actually, congress only knew what Bush told them. And what he told them was false.

Drumheller said that, before the U.S.-led attack on Iraq in 2003, the White House "ignored crucial information" from Iraq's foreign minister, Naji Sabri, that indicated Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.
Now why would we not believe an Iraqi saying they had none? They used them against their own people. This is one guy's version of the events. I don't believe one guy is enough proof.
He wasn't the only guy. Remember Hans Blix? He was the leader of the UN group that went in to investigate. He told Bush there were no WMD's too.
Perhaps like some of the others more famous people ...."They were for it, before they were against it"......morons
around my house, we call that.. "doin' the romney"!
