"Without Protesters, There Wouldn't be a War"

A wonderful column today by Patrick R. Gibbons in The Digital Collegian:

Protesters are useful idiots for people who want an emotional mob to push public opinion in the direction of their own agenda. Today's protesters are useless idiots when it comes to the American well being.

They say protesting is the most patriotic act you can do. But when you disrupt the lives of your fellow citizens, block streets, interrupt classes, try to stop the government from running and prevent emergency medical vehicles from reaching the needy, you're not only unpatriotic, your unAmerican. That is not civil disobedience, it is terrorism and you should be arrested.

If the citizens of America and the world had solidarity in ousting Saddam Hussein's regime, there probably would be no war. Saddam held out hoping the protests and public opinion would save him. We have you to thank for the war: Thanks protesters; Thanks France, Germany and Russia. Saddam never would have stood against a unified Earth.

The protesters are in an uproar over civilian casualties. Saddam knows he can put civilians in his military installations and when struck by missiles he will claim America kills women and children. Saddam wants you to protest so the American government will stop hitting his military bases. Thanks protesters, for killing those civilians; Saddam wouldn't do it without you....

It continues for another 14 paragraphs: don't miss a one!

(Thanks, Bill.)
