Bill Cork goes over his recent about-face on the war issue
here. I have to admit that these so-called "war protesters" have moved me towards a more hawkish stance myself then even the one I outlined
here. I anticipated in that entry the war protesting angle and my view has not changed about protesters.
If Bush was handling this as Johnson handled Vietnam, then to some extent I could grant the protesters some leeway. But in my gut I know this is simply liberal idiots trying to play politics. After all, where were they when Clinton was bombing Kosovo???
If they were truly against the war then they would be carrying signs demanding that Saddam cooperate with his disarmarment or go into exile. Because that is the way to guarantee that there will be no war. But they are not going to do this which tells me that they are not truly anti-war but are instead anti-Bush. And that brings me to the subject of what to do with protesters should we actually go to war.
If we do go to war and these people try to gum up the machinery, they should be treated the same way a soldier would be treated if he tried to abandon his unit in battle. That is all I will say on the matter at this time because I am starting to get livid thinking about these clowns and that is not a good mindset to be in for blogging. Read
