None of the things you mention are seditious. Elected politicians and others saying (often overseas) that this is the wrong war, at the wrong place and time once troops are committed is deletirious to troop morale. Claims that we are there due to venal corruption in protecting buddies at Halliburton or in the oil industry are likewise deletirious. Saying we should pull out now because we can't win only encourages our enemies. Once we have committed American servicemen we should never badmouth the effort in public.

I support our military efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, but thinking back a couple of years, I was quite opposed to wasting American lives in Somalia, as well as our bombing of Kosovo.

Those military actions were a bad idea, had nothing to do with American security and wasted our military resources. Plus, I think Kosovo was partly motivated by Clinton's desire to try and cover up his homegrown scandals.

In your opinion, should I have been tried for sedition?
