I did not realize I needed permission to post my point of view on this board. Whom do I ask for that permission?

I am stating facts that the anti war people do not want to think about. They don't have to read them if they don't want to.

History is full of mistakes like supporting Castro at one point. What was done to the slaves and the Indians. Allowing a dictator to take over Panama. Getting involved in a war with North Vietnam. We had a Civil war and the slaves were freed. Was that good or bad?

I think we need to get over the mistakes, admit them and go forward. There have been mistakes made by not taking action or not supporting someone when we should have. If we had fully supported the revolutionaries at the bay of pigs would Castro still be in power?

I like to think of the sucesses and learn from the failures so hopefully we do not repeat them.

I am not impressed by protestors. They are people unwilling to abide by the wishes of the majority.

If there was a cure found for cancer today, someone would be protesting it tomorrow. They cannot see the good in anything, only the bad.
