They are engaged in an illegal, illegitimate war and people need to stand up and say no. And frankly, the whole excuse of &#8220;I was just following orders&#8221; was used during Nazi Germany and it is nota legitimate excuse for the bombing of wedding parties, the use of torture and killing children etc. This IS what is happening in Iraq. People need to be protesting the government and the military that is carrying out these crimes. It is necessary for people to critize [sic] the military and stop them if what they are doing is wrong.<br \/>\nEmma Kaplan<br \/>\nAugust 21, 2010 12:32 AM<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, little princess Emma has never been to the theater of operations, never met a soldier who wasn&#8217;t against the war (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=19072\">she accompanies Matthis and Robin Long on their high school road show<\/a>) so it&#8217;s easy for her to condemn the troops for doing their job and call them names. She has yet to provide a shred of proof that the war is &#8220;illegal, illegitimate&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s all just empty words for which she takes no responsibility.
