What If You Held An Anti-War Rally And Nobody Came?

  •  June 30, 2008

It’s tough getting people to show up to an anti-war rally in North Dakota.
I suspect that it’s getting tougher to get people to show up at rallies against the war in Iraq in general these days. With it looking more and more like the war is going to conclude with Iraq being a sovereign and democratic US ally where there was once an oppressive, terror-sponsoring, belligerent rogue state – and with the media unable to find many negative stories about the war to sensationalize – the entire anti-war movement just seems a bit pointless, doesn’t it?
After all, it’s hard to indict Bush as some sort of monstrous, bigoted war monger when by all appearances Bush is going to leave office with Iraq and the middle east in general in a lot better shape than it was when he entered office.

    Yikes!

    From the look of that picture the chirping of the crickets was probably drowning out the free concert.

    Seriously, you’ve got to tell us when you’re joking. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.

    Isn’t that great Iraq better but America in shambles. With the national debt at 9.5 Trillion dollars, and 1 in EVERY 5 dollars spent on the budget going just to pay interest on the debt.

    Not to mention the 4100 dead, and over 33000 injured. And we are still today and for the foreseeable future spending 2.9 billion a week that we don’t have and have to borrow to get.

    “What if….and nobody came?”– The answer is blowin in the wind.

    You’ll get no argument from me about the national debt, but the war has very little to do with that debt.

    War spending is a fraction of entitlement spending, and it will eventually go away. We’re stuck with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security (which together make up the lion’s share of our deficit spending) unless we do something drastic.

    Now, which party do you think is standing in the way of meaningful reform of that spending?
