On behalf of KSAWC we would like to thank Leonard Shelton (of IVAW) for speaking and Jonathan Medina and David Airhart, all three being Iraq veterans, for attending the protest yesterday.
We would also like to thank the numerous amount of students, faculty and community members who came out and stood with us to speak out against this war that's based on lies.
You have a voice! Thank you for joining with us.
Hope to see you at the next meeting and event.
Peace!

Against the War?

Well, get your rug ready, and women, start wearing your burkas, because the Radical Muslims want everyone to become Muslims or you will die as an infidel...

We beat them over there, or they come over here...

Maybe YOU don't mind being a Muslim, but, its against my Religion to bow down to Mohammad...Sorry, JESUS CHRIST died for MY sins, and that's who I will owe allegiance to!

I wish you well...

Why is this transparent Marxist propaganda piece masquerading as "news"?

Will there be any coverage of the other side of this story?

Or are the forces of terrorism appeasement permitted to slander America with impunity at Kent?

This article is not news...it is propaganda! It is amazing to me to read comments from a supposed scholar who should know better regarding his continued misguided opposition to the Vietnam war and now this war. It is not wise to choose a myopic viewpoint on any subject. If you study your history, both recent and past regarding Vietnam, you will discover a backwards country ruled by single party 'communist-socialist' brutality. There are no legal opposition parties to the ruling 'government'. It's not the war that was the problem, nor it's intent. It was our Washington D.C. micro-managed directives to the military which created the debacle. Much of the failure in Vietnam was the result of politicians using the war for political gain while placating an ignorant minority of the population who had no grasp of international politics or military strategy.
History repeats itself as organizations such as KSAWC feed into the same propaganda machine which is desparately trying to find paralells in the Iraq conflict to Vietnam. I appeal to the young students of KSU to not over simplify such a complex international event such as the war on Iraq. There exist many layers to this conflict to include violations of sanctions imposed from the first war, genocide by it's government towards it's own population and most importantly, agression towards the U.S. military when the Iraqi army fired upon flights of U.S. military aircraft, to name but a few.
At this point in history, an unstable middle east is a threat to the free world. Radical islam will not rest until the world bows to it's demented demands. They now posess the finances to wage a war on the free world at a global level. The war on terror must be fought on many fronts, none of which are clearly defined. Radical islam has been fighting this war on freedom for decades, it is only now that the United States and Great Britain have begun to rid the earth of this plague. Don't forget students of KSU, your teachers are there to teach, and for you to use your own minds to make your own decisions. The classroom and campus is not a bully pulpit for professors to advance their personal political agenda. By law, you should never even know what your professor's political preferences are!!!! How many teachers remain politically neutral while the class debates? Beware the professor who attempts to push his/her own agenda. They are dangerous to the education process.
P.S. We have an all volunteer Military!!!! If they didn't want to be in the war, they would resign when their duty obligation is over. Re-enlistment is at record levels! So what exactly are you protesting? The troops know they are saving a people and changing the course of history.

The problem with a "War on Terror" is - how do you define when it is over?

We aren't fighting a person, we aren't fighting a country, we aren't fighting a certain group (terrorists is not a defined group). How do we define victory?

Answer: We can't.

So does this war rage on forever? Do we move on to Iran, then N Korea, then back to Iraq, then back to Afganistan, then maybe to Darfur to actually help people who need it, then who knows where?

The problem with policing the world is that it will always need policing.

And the "supporters of the troops" will continue to send them across the world to be shot, spend trillions of dollars we need here in this country, and continue to call us who are against this "unpatriotic"

We can't win a war if we don't know what winning is.
