We are in a war.

Then declare war. Mobilize the economy, reinstate the draft and get the job done as quickly as possible. But don't use it as a rhetorical device to permit things that normally aren't permitted, then back away from it when it's convenient to you.

People with criminal intent tend to appear in crowds such as these anti-war protestors.

Example?

Simple question. If Democrats controlled the White House and there was a freep protest of whatever policy, would you be happy that the police were there taking your picture?

Perhaps not happy, but never surprised. When you "protest" your image is up for grabs---be it government or the ACLU, etc. It's a risk you take, knowingly.
