That same argument was used about Vietnam antiwar protest. That was another war with ill-defined objectives and no end in sight. It cost over 57,000 American military personnel their lives and brought much misery to your country and many of those who returned home wounded in body, mind and/or spirit.

I do not doubt the courage of the guys and gals in Iraq. BUT, it is not an issue of patriotism or saying something as simple as what you have above. It wasn't in Vietnam and it isn't now. It is about the responsibility YOU have to request some serious answers from your leaders. The people fighting against the USA and allies in Iraq may not have been your enemy when the war started, but they are now. Suggesting that antiwar protest is aiding the 'enemy'--well, it's much like saying that people who protest poverty or poor housing or bad health care are responsible by their protest for what they are protesting; are somehow responsible for making their situation worse. I don't buy that argument. Nor do I 'buy' the reasons for the US being in Iraq.

BB, you can split all the hairs you want with what Bush said to congress, but the connection is clear and obvious. Like it or not.
