Right back at 'ya -

We? Who's we? I (and most Americans, though definitely far from all) will always back our soldiers. And, in this case I do back the president (even though I think he could have handled this situation much better from the beginning), backing the president is far from a given. We've had plenty of military action that in my opinon was clearly not necessary or not our perogitive (Panama comes to mind, as do others). If you think a war is unjust, then you should *not* blindly follow the president. Excercise your right of expression. While I disagree with the anti-war protestors, I sure as hell respect their right to express themselves.
