[Outraged]

Maybe they can't help feeling that way, since the loss of a child is so horrendous, but it seems so wrong.

It is impossible to dismiss the grieving of a family, but in this instance this group that is organizing is a simple outgrowth of the anti-American communist machine cloaked in the disguise of feel good sentiment...These people hate America as much as the world's Islamofascists, communists, socialists and God-less neardowells.

Just like the 70s anti-war miscreants, they are either "usefull idiots" or intentionally malevolent.

As a father of a Troop who was very nearly killed during a skirmish in Iraq last Spring, I feel that I can say that I have tasted just a bit of what those poor families must feel. I was very fortunate in that my son has returned home safely. It is aso so that he may very well be deployed again over there in the not too distant future.

Despite my anguish last Spring, (which certainly cannot compare to those parents who's soldiers never made it out safe) I still fully supported, and continue to support this military action over there.

I believe that it is a matter of survival for all of us, and my son has a similar opinion. I am sorry that people of every station in life cannot appreciate just what the value of morale is for our Troops, even those who are not actually deployed.

The Presidents trip to Iraq was a very very good thing!
