My opinion is that if you let a celebrity sway your view point just because they are famous shows you can be easily manipulated and are somewhat ignorant. Larry has a right to express his viewpoint (which is a freedom the Iraqi people do not have). Doesnt mean a thing to me personally though. I like U2 because they make great music and are one of the best live bands on the planet. Not because of Larry's view point on the war with Iraq. And for a fan to throw this in a conservatives face as some type of slam is ridiculous and childish. Its like throwing in a liberals face that Bono was tooling around Africa with a conservative Republican and meeting with Jesse Helms and George Bush. Who cares, does it change how you feel about the music??
I do find it amazing though that so many people think the U.S. is a bad guy for wanting to take out a tyranical dictator, who enjoys torturing his people and captives as well as gasing his own people. Seems somewhat hypocritical of Larry to support Saddam Hussein AND Amnesty. I also think it is hypocritical of liberals to be anti war, yet when Clinton went into Kosevo without even the UN's authority, the liberals were all for it. These type of decisions shouldnt be political, they should be for what is best for the world. Do any of you really think Saddam being in power is a good thing?
I dont think most people want war. I dont want it to happen either. But sometimes it is necessary to combat evil. Saddam could avoid this whole thing by cooperating or stepping down. Something he has not done for 12 years.
My favorite slogan:
War has never solved any of the worlds problems. (Except Nazism, socialism and facism). Appeasement has always worked (Except for when it resulted in World War I and II)
