Protesters Trash Grounds Around Rumsfeld's Home That was very "non-peaceful" of them. Not saying all of them are that way. Now here's a few links Sideshowapu emailed me to put up having to do with protests he helped participate in at his school http://salty.ncsa.uiuc.edu/gallery/dayofwar?&page=7 http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/rate/10483 http://www.dailyillini.com/mar03/mar21/new...s_story01.shtml http://www.dailyillini.com/mar03/mar21/new...s_story07.shtml

Who pitched for the Sox today?

That isn't a quote from me. I try to be diplomatic about things. I think that the Un and Nato could be very helpful, BUT, I think for that to happen some serious changes have to be made. I don't necessarily know what those changes would be, but it isn't going to work in its current state. I also think that Nato and the Un wants to get involved with building Iraq back up, but you'll see the coalitioin forces put in an Iraqi person and let Iraq run their country while the Un/Nato provides food and relief. This isn't a short fix, the war is just step one and to be honest, its probalby the easiest of all the steps. Building up a country or helping do so is tough work and it takes a great plan and ability to make changes for it to succeed.

Yeah, the US against the rest of the World is a good idea. Pulling out of the UN and NATO are some of the worst moves we could make, mainly because we would be further alienated from many countries. 36 countries support us. That enough support from me, you can't make everyone happy and part of the things wrong with society today is people think all 100% can always be happy, well right now that isn't realistic. Oh ya, Nato and UN didn't do crap to enforce their policies. 1441 wasn't followed and the documentation was there. They sat on it for 12 years and did nothing. How people deny he had weapons is popostorious to me. Heck, he's used some of the banned weapons already, yet people act as if he hasn't. After this is over, I think you'll see drastic changes to the UN and Nato. Does anyone think UN and Nato is perfect? I sure as hell don't. I think the idea is there and the point is for it to do good, but its not there yet, just like our founders didn't have things perfect when they took over, it evolved over time.

Anyone see that kid. Man, seeing that stuff or well in this case hearing it on the radio just made me feel great. Of course its got to make those soldiers putting their life on the line out their really feel good too. In my mind they are doing the right thing, everyone else can think what they want, but I stick to my thought that Saddam was a dictator, that controlled his people and forced violence and poverty on them and they are finally going to get to experience the freedoms that everyone is entitled to.

ABC released a poll saying over 70% are in favor of the war. I forget the exact %, but I think it was closer to 80%.

I haven't been that naive since I was 6. Of course our bombs only fall on the right places and kill the right people. Peace out. Why do you put words in my mouth???? I never said that. Nothing is perfect, civilians die in war, but don't lie and say we hit Hospitals and schools instead of Saddams places (Talking about Al Jazari. These weapons are incredibly accurate that the military is using today. This is like no war of the past.

I think Miles beats out Harris if Rowand is feeling alright.

Ya, the new technology in this is amazing. Oh ya, for all those protesters that always mention how we are going after Iraq despite the fact that North Korea has nukes and shouldn't they be the concern. Well, this message is probably being read drastically by the Koreans, now knowing that it may not be as easy as he thought. Thats not why they are doing it, but I'm sure it scares the crap out of him too.

Of course we don't see both sides. The American media makes a field day on censoring what they show us. Still, it is nice to see weakening resistance. Maybe we can get this f***ing war over with. Better then the complete lies that Al jazari continues to publish. For god sakes, when we had troops 150 kilometers into Iraq and they were watching our feed, they were still telling the people that we have yet to enter Iraq. Then they say we bombed schools and hospitals, pure crap. The propagenda campaign is something, but isn't it a government that typically does it, not a freaking TV station. I know Tv stations have motives, but in the case of the US, they kind of go with what they are told in situations of the war. The key is, there were not major protests in the Middle East today, after they got out of Mosque which is a great sign that the people believe that Saddam deserved this.

Mine has to deal with their stance on many issues, but as far as this war is concerned, they are against us because their people hate the US. Also because they have helped feed the enemy (and no I'm not talking food). Most importantly, they are saming some of the stupidest things ever. I'm sorry, but its very obvious to ME, that Saddam didn't meet 1441 and he had 12 years to do so, thats that. Why give him more time, 12 years is a long ass time. Its not like he's having to rebuild an economy, that could take 12 years, he just had to destroy some weapons and then his people could get their lives back together, but he doesn't care about them. Their whole argument is wrong.

Don't have access to a tv right now, everyone in the office has the radio on though. If this is the case its great news. I have all along believed the majority would support the US in this, but they could never show their feelings with a dictator like Saddam in charge. Still, I don't know if we see both sides, so I'll wait till later dates in the war, but i'm loving what I'm hearing.

Well I am proud about the way my school is handling its business. The school has decided not to make any type of resolution and to concentrate on its job, which is dealing with student affairs and improving the school. Since i'm their to learn, I like to know that the people are spending their time while getting paid on that. Also, a group of teachers were protesting and telling students to cut class and they were cutting class. This is a bunch of crap, they are there, getting paid to teach students and they are screwing their students that are paying tuition to go to that school. YOu want to protest, do it on your own time. Its not your job to share your opinion in a class, unless you tell them its your opinion, and if you allow other students to debate back and tell their side of the opinion. As far as the protesting goes, I have no problem with it as long as they don't stop people that aren't taking part of it. Stay on the sidewalk, don't throw glass or rhubarb at cops and don't throw cones into the street while their is incoming traffic. Thats a danger to everyone else. You want to protest, stand in the freaking sidewalk, go to a park, but don't inconvient those that want no part in it. Oh ya, try to make them a bit more peaceful, instead of throwing stuff.

Have fun down there and stay safe.

Eyewittness reports have Saddam being wheeled out on a stretcher. Whether its true or not who knows. They also are really starting to think it was taped and he has many speaches taped.

I had that problem also, but when i inquired about it, i found out that you can't run your audio and video inputs through a vcr, they have to go directly to a TV. It protects against people somehow recording the video onto a tape basically. Don't know if that's the problem or if the PS2 just sucks, but worth a try And a few months ago my disc tray would not come out for whatever reason, i had to send it to a sony place in mich for repairment, really pissed me off cuz it took about a month and about 90 bucks. Damn, you've saved my problems. My friend and I both do it that way, and that must be why we have the problems. Sweet, your a savior Koch!!!

Well, he wasn't pitching, so I just saw him covering first base, but he looked alright. He's a big guy, thats for sure. I have heard a lot of good things about him, and his work ethic and attitude, so I really hope he can get healthy and get back on track, cause "stuff wise", he's great.

Nope, I had Creighton over Duke eventually. Shows what I knew, lol. I saw the score today and was like, damn CW was right.

I'm not Jim, but I did see Stumm at the minor league camp fielding grounders when I was there about 2 weeks ago.

Gamecube has all the sports games and since thats all I ever really play it wouldn't really bother me. Especially because the dvd player on mine is freaking lame as hell. Got one of the original ones and the color just changes constantly from light to dark while watching a movie. Then the fan broke, so I went in the back and fixed it. The first builds of PS2's sucked.

Yes Jason and when thre Oscars are held all that police security will be there rather than protecting the public - traffic gets jammed, cops handling traffic at every Sox game all kinds of police are deployed to handle traffic rather than fight crime - and traffic tie ups happen when the president travels the tie ups of police personnal and traffic jams are horrendous the St Patricks Day parade pulls all kinds of cops off of usual duty for marching or for crowd control - favor locking the president in the white house and doing away with everything else, or are you just critical of deployed resources when it is people expressing their constitutional right to assemble? You read the rest of my post Vince. I said they have their right. At my school, I saw some of the anti war protesters and it was freaking ridiculous. All they were doing was dropping a constant stream of swear words. These are supposed to be people wanting "peace". How can you do that when you struggle to have a non violent protest, and I consider swearing at people who discuss things with you a form of violence, even if it isn't phyisical. Luckily, there aren't many protesters at my school. I'd have no problem with them if they weren't tryign to force their views on others with the approach that only they are right. I go through mine with the belief that I think I am right, but since I can't look into the future, then its not 100% that I am right, therefor, other people can say what they want, and I don't have to change their mind, although I can discuss the facts with them. I've also talked with a few of the protesters at my school, and they don't even know what this war is about. They keep talking about it being a war over oil. Then I say, hey, its not a war about oil, now that could be a underlying reason (I don't know, but I honestly don't believe it is a reason, if it is it is not the reason they are there and they would be their if Iraq had it or not), but when I bring up the Resolution and the fact that he's already using weapons that he supposedly didn't have, tells me that the US intell was right all along. This guy is keeping his weapons and he's a threat. How can a guy not be a threat if he's used the stuff on his own people. What kind of a sicko does that. That would be like one of us pointing a gun and whacking our family members (I'm sure Saddam wouldn't hesitate to do that either). How can you be in a peaceful society, when you have someone like that running a country with the capabilities of biological weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. You can deny the fact that he has biological weapons (but those missiles he used today were against what he was supposed to have and they are considered weapons of mass destruction). Then they say everyone is against the war, think of all the protests that happened so many times. Their are always people against anywar and they are typically more vocal then those in favor of it, simply because they are trying to change an opinion, while the people in favor of it, don't have to, because things are going similar to how they like them.

Look at TCU, one of the biggest party schools in the country. Not saving everyone there parties, but thats supposed to be this Christian institution.

As far as the protests goes, its there right but I'm worried that all of the cops dealing with the protesters is going to mean some cops aren't there to protect from an attack on us. Oh ya, I was watching tv and listening to the radio today and they mentioned that where there have been protests, in many cities those protesters have been drastically out numbered by those supporting the war waving the American Flag. Caught that on my drive to school.

Terrible news. My thoughts go out to their loved ones.
