Should all reporters and officials who supported war give part of their salaries to survivors of the dead?

Question

On last Sunday's show, Tim Russert chided author Scott McClellan for not questioning his boss, George W. Bush, on whether the war on Iraq was "a war of necessity or a war of choice".

To NBC Tim Russert:

Because YOU were part of the propaganda machine that sold the war, that many people have died and been injured because of the war, shouldn't you, Mr. Russert, donate some of your hefty salary from your show to the families of the victims of the Iraq War.

Should All who went on TV and were pro-War do that?

Answer 1

No. Joining the military and SERVING this country was a choice of the individual. I'm sure the families are at a great loss but you can't compensate money for death of a loved one.

But I do think that they should financially support the war as it is now and the soldiers who are currently serving. It would take a burden off the tax payers so we can spend the money improving OUR country. With all the problems going on in our own country...

Answer 2

This is precisely why we shouldn't allow kids on the internet, thanks for the points.

Answer 3

Don't be silly!

Answer 4

No, give thanks to President Bush for defending America and democracy! Nuff said!

Answer 5

no

they are entitled to their opinions just like the anti war protestors are

Should the anti war crowd donate some of their salaries to those injured through the propaganda they have allowed our enemies to use

Answer 6

Yeah, I am sure that some worthless paper with dead presidents will really reimburse them from the loved ones that died.  Why is it always about money?  What ever happened to simple good ole' fashion Honor?
