Got an email from a friend, he said this.

i haven't seen or heard anything from the anti-war movement on the current war in Uganda:


it is ongoing and is estimated to have claimed three times as many lives as the Iraq war.

the main difference is that there is no USA involvement, so no way to spin it against the USA.

the 'anti-war' movement hates the fact that the soviet empire fell apart, and hates to see democracy, freedom and capitalism spread in the world. otherwise they would also be crying about Africans killing each other, rather than putting all of their partisan and/or racist and/or USA-hating focus on Iraq. the anti-war movement consists of communist, socialist and 'fellow-traveller' sympathizer organizations. to paraphrase orwell, pacifism helps the other side, which is in this case those who seek to
crush freedom.

to those i've blind copied, please spread the word about the anti-war movement hypocrisy and agenda.

And you haven't heard them complain much about the Darfur conflict, in which possibly hundreds of thousands have died. One thing is for sure, Africa is as much of as a mess as any other time.

America is definately war weary. If we were not so involved in Iraq and Afghanistan maybe we would hear more and there would be more of a call to do something. But I think America is tired of being the world's policeman. Sorry to say this, but the conflict should benefit us in some way I think to step into it. The Iraq war is all about oil, who are we kidding to suggest otherwise? We want more and stable access to oil, and we are tired of being at the whims of tin-pot dictators would dictate our foreign policy because they have us over an oil barrel. The spread of democracy in Iraq will hopefully prove the seed for a more stable mid-east, and that would decrease oil prices in the long run (but definately not in the short run).
