Well danged, Beccy. Looks as if ya' got yerseff a good ol' fashion whoppin' here. Hey, I know about 'em. Trouble is really in the name of the thread. "Counter demonstartions to support our troops". The implication in using the word "counter" is that one cannot support peace and the troops. It is inherently arrogant in that in it you assume and pass judgement. Hey, I've done exactly what you have done so I know what I'm talking about here.

I believe that you have been caught up in the somewhat narrowminded "With us or against us" stand of Mr. Bush. It has done nothing but alienated much of the world and in you're disguising it in the name of your thread, you have reaped, as Bush, pretty much what you have sowed.

And I'm not passing judgement here since I do the same thing, just an observation. But when I do it, I expect to get the "blast" and am not shocked when it comes my way.
