If you're gonna make yourself a human shield, don't expect reasonable people to feel bad for you when you get splattered.

So we should Intentionaly targt people standing up for what they believe in?
We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it.

I don't think much of this whole war thing, but these people are simply smurfed in the head.
It's a shame, too, because that blonde on the right is semi-attractive.

Sounds good. How about we drop those in favor of war off in the desert outside Bahgdad?

YES. The Hitler youth were people standing up for what they believed in.
They're there, protecting Saddam. It doesn't matter what they say they're there for, the end result, if they're successful, is the preservation of Saddam.

Heh, these people, sadly, are goners. Bush doesn't care that his approval rating is plummeting, he doesn't care about UN resolutions and international law, so why would he care about 14 foreign hippies? Or even the double-decker bus load on its way?

How about the Boy Scouts of America?
Or the Gay and Lesbian Alliance?
Or maybe the Cristian Coalition?
Or any other groups that people dislike and who strongly believe in their values?

Logical fallacy. He never intimated they should be intentionally targetted. Watch as these nutballs head over there and then become surprised when some of them get killed.

They're not going to an enemy nation, wearing big-assed targets supporting a dictator.

Why should Bush care about UN resolutions when the UN doesn't care about UN resolutions?

Neither Did the Hitler Youth, they were just a Scout-esqe orginization started by Hitler.

The Hitler Youth fought on the battlefields of northern France.

Well, hell. I agree with him then. If these people want to ally themselves with Hussein then don't let me stand in the way. Perhaps they'll get together and sing "We are the World" and hand out flowers to everyone as they pass by.

So, now you're saying the Hitler Youth had no devotion to Hitler? They had no personal convictions w/regards to Hitler? It was all for their country?

That is odd, because with the subject entitled Time to start bombing....and here's the first target... it's a bit difficult to presume anything but.

I should have added that we should make sure to start with cluster bombs to be thorough.

They're taking an action that by its design, if successful, will help ensure the continued rule of Saddam.

I do not agree. In fact I'd say that's a "Logical fallacy."

If they succeed, there is no war. If there is no war, Saddam stays in power. Whether they like it or not, their actions, if successful, would lead to the preservation of Saddam.
