Every war, other than two wars, was not fully supported by all. Only one, was an attack on us, making us fight. And that part of WW2 had huge support. So, other than the AR, Civil War, and one side of the WW2, pretty much all the other battles we some how - "ended up in", just like Afgan and just like Iraq.

So if you don't support Iraq/Afgan, do you support the war on Terror? No? Well good. During the early years of the Nazis people didn't think they had the power to do what happened either. It turned out to be a great example what can happen when the wrong groups get organized.

You can teach peace, love, respect for other countries, but you should let patriotism be what it is, support for your Country. It's your right to not think like others in this country, you should teach that to your kid. But it's not your right as a parent to tell your kid not to support/fight for the country you live in, because of the you feel.

Your feelings today, could be wrong 2, 5, 20 years from now when we really need them.
