When you speak against the war, you are condoning the actions of terrorists all around the world. We are at war and we have been at war for years, it just took 911 to realize that. These people do not respond to reason. They are trained at a very young age to hate US...YOU! They have millions and millions of kids in school who will grow up to be future bombers...they ARE the WMD.

I have to disagree with your assumption (and I know for a fact that it is an assumption) that there is no oil production in the US (coast and Alaska). First off, I work in the oilfield industry, and about 90 percent of our work is in the Gulf of Mexico, just off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana. Second, my stepbrother works in the oilfields in Alaska, and they are very real. I dont know where you get your info, but you should really check it out first.
To hit on the other statement, I dont think that anyone in this country has a problem with the war on terrorism. If so, they dont deserve the freedoms they are granted by the people defending us from the terrorists. That being said, the war in Iraq is a whole different story. We went in to that country on a basis of a regime change, and them having WMD. There is evidence that at one point in time they HAD wmd, but the whole world knows that. Thats no secret. They were using 1 wheelers, oh shit, mobile WMD labs!!! WTF!!! Our efforts would have been better served in other areas of that shithole of a region, defending ourselves against terrorist, which BTW are still running free plotting and scheming because we destroyed Iraq instead of eliminating the real threat. Think of the Iraq war how you please, but dont hide the facts surrounding it.
