4. I see the larger cause he is claiming... |
|
...and I'd call his self-sacrifice for all our sakes rather heroic.

I wouldn't call him heroic. I do call him courageous for following his conscience.

12. Been an interesting week. |
|
On Sunday evening I was part of the crew that helped feed 200 protesters in support of Lt. Watada. What a courageous young man. It is so important to support peoplelike this and get the message out.
In fact,we are having a town hall forum at the same site of the dinner. At First Congreational Church 918 Division Ave in Tacoma, WA on Sat Feb 10 at 1pm US Rep. Adam Smith (D) WA-9 will be with us to discuss the issues of the Iraq War, it's legality, possible de-funding, possible impeachment and the possibility or pobablility of further incursions into other nations.
Last year we had 500 attend and this year are hoping for more. We are wanting to hold his feet to the fire in order to get him on record for de-funding and working for diplomacy rather than agression. Anybody close to Tacoma (with in 100 miles) please consider joining us. There will be a reception following for networking with other activists. Thanks-Mike Collier

20. I'd say he truly has "the courage of his convictions" |
|
..."having the courage of one's convictions" is a phrase that gets thrown-around a lot these days, and is becoming somewhat of a tarnished cliche as a result.
But I'd say when someone is willing to go to prison to uphold a principal - THAT'S courage of conviction. I applaud Lt. Watada for his integrity.

31. Guess the people who think that he isn't a hero probably think that Bush is a hero? |
|
How anyone could think that he isn't a hero is just mind-blowing to me....What could possibly be their reasoning that he "isn't" a hero? The man refused to follow an illegal order...that takes courage, honor and is something that a hero stands for.

39. People also have different definitions of what a hero is... |
|
He's not a hero to me, but I do admire him for having the courage to follow his conscience.
So, because my opinion is different than yours I think bush is a hero? Why do you think that?

More often than not on DU, if you don't like what the majority likes you'll be lumped in with repukes. Difficult to take serious.
You didn't answer my question and didn't indicate your post was not meant to be taken seriously.
