The Age. 17 February 2003. Stones roll onto anti-war bandwagon.
SYDNEY -- The Rolling Stones have added their voice to the growing chorus of anti-war sentiment
around the world.
The rock supergroup were in Sydney on Sunday as an estimated 200,000 people flooded the streets
to demonstrate against a possible military strike on Iraq.
The mass protest didn't go unnoticed by The Stones, whose hard-living guitarist Keith Richards, 59,
said it was important to keep abreast of world developments amid a tight international touring
schedule.
"They're out in force, right, all over the world, which is very peaceful," Richards told journalists in
Sydney.
"We're zooming around this globe and all this stuff's going on. We keep a close eye on it, let's hope it
gets resolved sensibly."
Guitarist Ron Wood, 55, hoped the public anti-war showing would be noticed by the world's
decision makers.
"I hope the governments are taking notice," Wood said.
"My favourite banner is 'Fight Plaque Not Iraq'." |

What, being against global warming isn't enough for these so-called "moralists"?
Now they gotta be communist traitors to their very own countries too?
Hey don't get me wrong, the Stones made some good music, but you would think Mr. Richards and the rest of these un-American anti-war homo-pansies would have the common decency not to be trashing the US when we are about to go to war to save their drugged up hippie asses from Islamic terrorists!! |

Jesse Jackson says,
No invasion w/out justification or they'l be reprecation before liberation...
STAY OUT THE BUSHES!
LOL.
No joke, I used to be pro war, but now, I'm slightly feeling that we shouldn't.
We already have the bastard contained. |

WTF? Did they teach anything besides blow jobs and flag burning at that military academy you went to? Do words like war, victory, America and patriotism mean nothing to your warped little mind? Or are they just concepts that you and people like MoonIsUp laugh at when you're all high on the Pot?
I suppose you have your rights....but, I'll tell you this, Steelie: the Stones can forget that '04 American tour! No decent American would be caught dead at one of those Jane Fonda commie fests now, goddammit! |

Everybody's entitled to an opinion, but I really don't think alot of people fully understand the full implications of what America& Britain feel needs to be done......It's not just Saddam, there are far too many irrational regimes out there acquring WofMD. It's all very well to debate the pros& cons of war on Iraq today, but what happens in 5, 10, or 15 years when the likes of Saddam acquire delivery systems, or the means to smuggle such a weapon/weapons across borders? How ya gonna protest in the streets of your city when your city's gone? During The Falklands crises in '82 Jagger was asked to comment on the situation after sending a video of an American concert to The British Troops, in the words of the reporter, " to offer moral support", but wisely refused to comment on The British action itself. I agree with Sirmoonie, you don't take millions of dollars out of a country, and then condemn it's foriegn policy. Just my opinion anyway. |

Thank you, Moonisup and some others, for keeping what little sanity is possible on this weird board!
Tyrants are bad and terrorists are bad (we all agree) but do we want bloodshed right here on Rocks Off? The Stones are entitled to their opinion, too.  Keith will give his anyway, wether you or me like it or not!!!
And the opinions stated by Woody and Keith in the article are pretty tame and commonsense and lots of people in either camp could agree with them. |

Yeah, maybe if they were terrorist sympathy bearers!
You, Keith and Woody sicken me and real Americans to the point of illness beyond relief! Well you won't see me making any apologies for being sickened by anti-war communists! None! I stand by my country! Unlike those who don't! |

Well, I'm glad that anthrax chemical pies and freedom are so amusing to you, Mr. egon. The question I put to you is, are you on the right side or the wrong side? If your answer is anything but an unprevaricational yes in the affirmative, the free world has no time for your discarded thought process of the distant past thats currently smoldering on the dung heap of history as we speak right now!! |

I too think we should keep the war discussion out of the board, cause certain people seem to be pretty hot-headed and refuse to agree to disagree. I've been e-mail attacked by one American fellow just because I said that "War is meaningless". You can't imagine the names I've been called. Just for stating a sane opinion, obviously cherised by the vast majority of people with logic around the world. I'm standing by my opinion, just don't want to spend KB's and server bandwidth to explain why one and one makes two, to people who think they're the heroes of the universe, the only ones who're brave, live in the best country in the world and all the rest are against them.
The word "propaganda" flashes like a neon sign all over everytime I read opinions like Sir Moonie's. It's sad to realize that there are people convinced by the pathetic excuses used by a brainless president to justify a war with financial motivation only.
It is the oil darlings - the "big mean mad dictator with blasting nuclear weapons" is 5% true (the dictator part only makes some sense!) and 95% propaganda. It's not like Saddam is a nice boy. But do you actually believe he will nuke the world? Or do you actually trust this statement when it's only supported by Bush and the like?
It's a Stones board and Sir Moonie will accuse me of awful, nasty, terrible, unspoken of "hippy" roots or -God forbid, no!-, that disgusting thing called communism -oh, how dare I-, but let me just say this: Give peace a chance. |

right & wrong can't be translated into �war� or �no war�!
you can have your opinion, and by all means express it(here), but don't dismiss other people just because they have a different views.
If you want to discuss, then discuss,
but to say �fuck you� to anyone who doesn�t agree has got nothing to do with a discussion.
(whatever the topic might be)
I�m sure you don�t care about anything I wrote here above, so let me just answer your question;
in your little world i would be on the wrong side i guess�.
Now, do you need my addres so you can bomb my house? Cos by the sound of it, you�d like to get rid of just about anybody that does not agree with you.

Yeah give peace a chance? I'm sure these Islamic fundamentalists see your point. I hate to say this but I feel because of them it is a kill or be killed scenario.(jmo)
They are not going to care that you marched in a peace parade and were against the war. You are an American (for those who are) and they want you dead. Debate why they want you dead all you want, but the fact remains, they want you dead. If they could push a button right now to do so, they would. So your camps arguement is that they are not an immediate threat? We can argue whether they are or not all day long, however, are we suppossed to wait until they become an immediate threat? People in your camp also were the ones questioning why we didn't do or couldn't do anything to stop 9-11? So now we're attempting to take a proactive stance against Iraq, and you say were rushing to war??
It's about oil? For France it certainly is, they stand to make billions in oil revenue if Saddam stays in power. Simple research will back this up. For Russia it's about money, Iraq is in the hole for about 11 billion dollars to Russia. What happens to the IOU when Saddam gets a bomb dropped on his ass? That's right, no money for Russia! If we promise them the money, they change their view on this war.
For the US, it is about our safety, and Saddam is just one piece of the terror puzzle that needs to be dismantled. Once Iraq is under our control, it gives us a prime place to launch our intelligence in the region. Bordering Syria and Iran, coincidental? I do not think so, Convenience Of course...
Oh and oil? If we wanted their oil, why didn't we take it in 91? BTW, I'm all for taking it, call it the spoils of war. What country spends more money in aid around the world? That's right, the evil, warmongering bullies,
Americans! Let's reward ourselves for a change.
