This war would end if they put it on t.v. for one week.
And I mean REALLY put it on t.v., ALL the blood, ALL the horrors, ALL the dead mothers and children in the streets, ALL the dead soldiers, ALL the crippled soldiers, just show it LIVE, ON THE AIR IN REAL TIME, and stop pretending.

America would absolutely come apart.

But it will never happen, we are PREVENTED from seeing the truth of it.

1. Oh I don't know, people like Coulter would get so wet they would slide off their bar stool
I think it would titilate a good portion of America..

3. I'm with you. It would be good entertainment for the likes of the bloodletters.

4. Perhaps today's porn horror addicts would join the military?

2. exactly...
however in the same vein as "protecting the American public"....we can't see it because it might make us sad...

just like having an impeachment would be too much for our widdle minds...


Gosh I am so mad lately I could just scream...

6. We saw a lot more on TV during Vietnam
People like me thought the war should end immediately. But a lot of people just got madder at the Vietcong. I think that's why the Swift Boat Liars were so successful. Their supporters blamed those of us who wanted out of Vietnam for the failure of that war.

Ironically, I tutored a Vietnamese-American (English lessons) who fled the Communists in Vietnam to come to this country. His story was harrowing. There was a huge American flag in his office (I tutored him at his work place because he was in management). He was a HUGE Republican supporter. I wished I had told him that it was Democrats were doing most of the fighting.

7. Also If There Was True Analysis
I'm so tired of having regime sock puppets and minders always "analyizing" what's going on...making sure there's a spin or other gimick that deflects blame for this clusterfuck on this regime and minimizes the real mess that's going on. They feed the 20% dead-enders who want to only believe this "war is being won".

For one week, I'd like the TV show analyists balanced according to the polls. For every right wing spinner, there should be two or three or more Progressives, Moderates and Independents who oppose this disaster. Let's do REAL balance here.
