Oh and for those who say that they want "Peace"...Peace is something that you work for...you sometimes sweat for...you may even die for...and often times those who work, sweat, and die pass that peace on to the next generation. They Sacrifice! Waving a sign sends a message but what do WE do on a daily bases to ensure that everyone you meet feels that same "Peace"...think about it!! I Back My Country and President 100%.

Ireland, where do you think you would be if it weren't for the US? Honestly, ask yourselves that. Do you think that this "Celtic Tiger" happened just because the Irish economy boomed out of no where? Ireland owes ALOT to America. Their lives, as they were and are now, todays economy in Ireland. And oh yeah, Peace. The Irish have shown to me they no nothing of Freedom.... as a whole, they were never brave enough to free their own people. Which is why there are still problems in Ireland today. Ireland, you may be afraid to fight for your freedom and you may be able to leave your countrymen behind, but Americans don't. Americans as a whole face our fears and do what we know is right. That is what makes this country great. That is why Ireland will never be free.
By the way, I, an American of Irish decent, pray for peace every night. I pray for our soldiers every night. But having said that, I will not fear evil.

Another American against war

Let us not forget the fact that George W. Bush is an illegitimate president, appointed by Supreme Court justices who themselves are appointees of his father and Ronald Reagan. George W. Bush does not, and never did have the backing of the majority of the American people.Through his occupation of the White House, Bush stands in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Since Sept 11th, the Bush administration has continued to trample on our constitution through its assaults on our civil liberties. They do this in the name of "homeland security." In reality, their internet surveillance, denial of permits to protest, etc., etc, are all part of their grand scheme to solidify power among their right wing, corporate, fundamentalist Christian friends.
Bush has continued to repeat the words September 11th and Hussein in the same breath for the past eighteen months, in what unfortunately, has been a successful effort to convince the American people that Hussein was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. There is no connection, as high officials in the CIA and the FBI have repeatedly stated. This does not matter to George Bush. He is on his own mission from God to avenge the alleged attack on his father and get his hands on Iraqi oil.
With regard to the American military. I do not hold American service men and women responsible for the decsions made by George Bush. I know that many recognize the man as the the Chickenhawk that he is. (For those Irish readers, a Chickenhawk is defined as one who avoids military service, and then orders other people's sons and daughters into war.) George H.W. Bush pulled strings to get George W. at the top of the list for the Texas Air National Guard, a coveted spot at the time for those wanting to avoid military service in Vietnam. News reports have revealed that George W. failed to report to his Guard duty for the last 18 months of his required service, which in essence made him AWOL. That's absent without leave, a military deserter. That George W. Bush is now in position to send young American service men and women to thier deaths in an immoral effort to lay claim to Iraqi oil is heartbreaking to say the least.
And of course, there is the matter of the innocent Iraqi people that George claims to care so much about. If the Bush family cared so much for them why did Bush Sr. and Rumsfeld arm Hussein with chemical and biological weapons during the Reagan and Bush administrations? During his "press conference" the other night, Bush stated he wished for peace for the Iraqis. Unfortunately he will have his wish as many of them will be "resting in peace."
In closing, I would love to see the following headline:
"IN DEFIANCE OF POPE'S PLEAS FOR PEACE, BUSH PLANS TO LAUNCH ST. PATRICK'S DAY MASSACRE. IRISH CATHOLICS WORLDWIDE RISE UP IN PROTEST,PRAY TO PATRICK TO DRIVE SNAKES OUT OF WHITEHOUSE."
