He didnt forget them. He listed them high in his list - the group he described as: Misguided or naive people that only know one side of the story

True - but I didn't ask about them and no one isshowing on TV demonstrations PRO-war like its significant issue of importance.
I am not arrogant, I just know what I am talking about. And just to make sure we are on the same discussion - it wasnt be who suggested to send then to France.
BUT what I think about the protestors is that - TOTAL BULLSHIT.
They care about what? The Iraqis that might die in the bombing?
Is dying by a bomb is worse than dying of starvation? or by torture for acting againts the dictator? Or live life or fear as a Curd or dying of mustard gas?
Since you are also pro war - explain the logics in opposing an act of force against a mecriless dictator who kills his opponents, enslaves his people, builds up weapons and arsenals for war instead of feeding his people and promoting peace?
I heard about 30-40 people intreviewed about why they protested in UK today and their resoning is FUCKEN LAME! I am willing to hear someone knowledgable expresses his thoughts and ideas about it - but judging statistically - most of the million that protested today don't know shit and protest cause they have nothing better to do.
Clarification: I have nothing against their protest. I think it should be encouraged in a society to have multitude of opinions and free-speech should be protected. We had protests in Israel against the war as well. That is not something negative. But the question is still there - why do they bother??
