Why do AntiWar protesters protest the actions of the US only and not the actions of terrorists?

Question

I think it would appeal to the international community a little better if we had unity againt terrorism. But whatever, it's not about helping the US win anyway it's about being heard.

Answer 1

We have a supposedly democratic government that is supposed to listen to the will of the people. Terrorists wouldn't be terrorists if they were influenced by protests against them.

Answer 2

maybe they believe in getting there own house in order first and then worry about other country's

as it should be

Answer 3

Perhaps because they're trying to effect a change and feel entitled to disagree with actions taken on their behalf as citizens. Protesting terrorism is meaningless and futile - the various cabals of terrorists could not care less if we protest their actions.

Answer 4

the same reason they protest against tobacco companies instead of the smokers themselves.

Answer 5

4 time nobel peace prize nominee Bill Richardson is running for president.  He is a person with proven experience.  

Bush just stopped his spying on peace organizations.  So he has been fighting against having peace.

Answer 6

because americans are supposedly better than terrorists.

Answer 7

They are essentially anti-USA, because they loathe the land that bore them, for it gave them a freedom they hate, as it has not made them personally rich.

Answer 8

because bombing for peace is like ******* for virginity

Answer 9

In Spain people did protest against terrorism. Muslims have protested terrorism have stated their oppossition. Yes this point is neither here nor there. Terrorism should be protested against no matter who is involved. Something could be started if someone wants but should be  a separate issue. The current response to terrorism cannot succeed and neither could  another conventional response as it is in response to people who say they have been Receiving Orders On High . A protest should be launched against this idea itself. A protest against an imaginary being. Go after it some way use history and legal means to prove it bad . Logic does not apply in this case so the response should be to convict and decide not to believe in this being as punishment for attacking everyone throughout history or being an excuse to.writing is crude but it is true.  Go after God,Allah not the believers. The quarrel is with God,Allah not them anyway.

Answer 10

They hate America.

Answer 11

Protesting against the actions of the terrorists would be too closely related to perhaps wishing to confront them - and, as far as I can tell, America and this administration is the only entities that they want to confront.

Answer 12

they hate their own country is why...they are mostly made up of dems/libs and the like so that ought to tell you something right there

Answer 13

because if they did that they wouldn't be hypocrites anymore.

Answer 14

Because they hate America?  I'm just joking, but I honestly think that some do.

Answer 15

They thought those in uniform were bullies.

When those without uniform could not afford a uniform. were civilllians.

What do you think?

Answer 16

Because they are against anything Bush supports.

Answer 17

What a good question!  Could it be that they condone the actions of the terrorists?  Nah, couldn't be.

Answer 18

Are you just trolling, or do you seriously want an answer to this?

Just because someone is against the war doesn't make them FOR terrorism. That's ridiculous, and disrespectful, too.  I don't think our soldiers should be exposed to the horror they have to live with over there.

I am against the war, and also against terrorists. And you seem to be reminded that none the hijackers or planners of 9/11 were Iraqi. Most of them were Saudi.
