Now That Obama is President What Happened to the Anti War Movement?
Ha! When Bush was in office it was "Bush is a War Criminal and we should pull out now". Now the Anti War crowd is ...... well ....... no where to be found. Thats despite the fact that Obama raised the number of troops in Afghanistan. I guess war was used as a way to attack Bush but now that Bush is no longer president there is no need march on washington? This shows you how dishonest the anti war movement was. War is only bad until a socialist is in office. It reminds me of the time the socialist/communist anti war organizations of WWII changed their mind about war overnight after the NAZI's invaded the USSR.

It is ironic that bush was such a unifier of people who's only common cause was thier undying hatred of bush and a select few of his cohorts (Rove, Cheney, Bolton). This spasmic orgasm of hatred brought groups together who really have very little in common. It brought communists and blue collar middle america trade unionists together, palestinian agitators and gay rights supporters together, anarchists and big government supporters together, and other combinations that leave your head scratching.
Once thier Emanuel Goldberg was gone the 8 year hate couldn't overcome the differences in poltical motivations that such a vast movement consisted of. What is left is the true hard core anti-war people, the anti-war (unless its against caplitalists, then in that case PEW PEW I'MA FIRIN MY LAZOR), and a few other fringe nutters.
It also brought together many families of grieving parents whose children were tricked into going to Iraq. Don't forget those.
Obama is getting us out of Iraq and a drawdown is on the way in Afghanistan.

I wouldn't

To be fair, Afghanistan was supported. Iraq? Not so much. I take issue with Obama calling Afghanistan the "good" war, as if ANY such thing ever existed. That shit was craven politics at this point. So was Iraq at that point.
Can any of you imagine for a second what the unemployment stats would be if we pulled everyone back home?
There are other political considerations involved, having to do with perception and domestic spending; government is given the benefit of the doubt more in all areas when we consider ourselves "at war" and "strong" and when people see the government as "protecting" them.

I don't remember a big anti-Afghanistan campaign-does anyone else? It was mainly about Iraq-which Obama has been taking us out of. There's a big difference between the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, no evidence has proven to be linked towards it-even the Bush administration has now said this. They weren't even a Muslim country (they were a Secular nation).And Obama wasn't anti-Afghanistan. Remember when he said he'd go into Pakistan to get the Taliban if he had to?
Same thing that happened to all the conservatives who worried about the deficit and less freedom when Bush was in charge - they rolled over without a peep.

Well Afghanistan is considered good because the people who planned 9/11 trained and planned the attacks there, thats why we went there. Iraq we invaded for god knows what reasons.

Oh, come on, 9/11 was originally considered an international CRIME, and with all unseemly haste it was turned into a justification for WAR, a nebulous WAR, one without any recognizable end or definable objective. This was done for a reason. Thars GOLD in them thar hills, for certain folk, and justification for all manner of skull fuckery.
good question. I suspect that there was more to it than the "war" itself...

You are spot on about everything except this, Iraq wasn't an Islamic theocracy like Iran but Islam was the official state religion, every country in the Middle East besides Israel has Islam as their state religion.
