How many millions in the streets would be needed to prevent this?

Is this so-called democracy completely helpless against its leaders?

3. My idea
If mentioned in public would get me a pretty unfriendly visit from most of the active SS Agents east of the Mississippi.

-85% Jimmy

9. ...
Unfriendly visits from SS Agents tops my list of what makes a crappy day.

I've enjoyed your posts the past few days. However, I have wondered at the discrepency at the 90-percent screen name but the 85% Jimmy signature.

:hi:

B-)

5. Nothing.
If bushco is determined to bomb Iran, he will. No number of marchers will prevent it. More important than marching is contacting liberal elected leaders in Congress and pleading with them to speak out.

7. Yes
Why would this be any different than anything else? How much crap have our leaders done over the centuries? They do what needs to be done to protect the power center.

10. if it's a democracy, its leaders comply and resign
if not, only revolution helps. The problem is that it doesn't happen overnight and need a massive support from the population. Revolutions happens when the situation is unbearable and the masses have nothing to lose. Or else it's called a coup. The later doesn't have to be negative, but it depends of the leaders.

13. That is the only way I think we can stop it - Millions in the streets
We need to march on Washington in mass
We need to march in the streets of every city, town and village calling for a stop to this insane agenda this regime is working from.

Yes it will probably get violent because too many can't demonstrate peacefully. But it may take the violence and a revolution to end this.

I fear for the future of this once great nation, I fear for the future my kids will face after this mad man is done with what is left of America.

16. We pick a phone in day and call our reps and tell them
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 04:29 PM by sfexpat2000
that if Bush move his little finger toward that button, WE WILL MARCH ON WASHINGTON.

AND WE MEAN IT.

They've just seen millions of brown people marching for human rights. They will get the message, I promise you.

I'm ready.

17. Keep writing and calling your congressmen
it's the best tool you have, alas.

Let them know that if they vote for more wars, they're out of a job. Let them know you will hound them if they come back to the home state (fat chance, most will just go to K Street). Let them know this is a DISASTER.

If Stupid starts bombing without Congressional approval and Congress does nothing, then all bets are off. We're talking about our survival.

20. Iran has to allow access ...
the whole world has to allow the global president access to whatever they have that he, and his friends may want. If they are forced to overcome obstacles, that means...:nuke: as someone once said, if all you have is a hammer all you ever see are nails.
