Norton1-I have to respectfully disagree that the "peace movement" is insulting or attacking the morale of the troops. The signs that say "Support our Troops: Bring Them Home" are not just propoganda, they are how many of us feel. Many pro-war speakers have difficulty distinguishing attacks on the war from attacks on the soldiers; I hope that the troops are not similarly confused.
As far as Hitler goes, he actually attacked other nations. Saddam has a shorter track record of aggression than we do. While I certainly don't support him, and think that, since the damage has been done by invading, we ought to finish the job, comparisons to imperialist aggressors are inaccurate and serve only to inflame emotions.
