It occurs to me that perhaps it would be more correct to say that I oppose the policies that placed our young men and women in harm's way. My protestations -- and they are pretty tame; again, don't lump me in with the freaks in the streets -- are against the policies, and the only way to get the policies changed is through the Republican/Democratic means established in our country. I write my Congresspukes, my President...post thoughts on here...

By the way, I have absolutely no problem with fighting this war for US economic or security interests, which is undoubtedly part of what we are doing there, rather than solely for freedom for Iraqis either. If you truly feel that way, than why do you oppose this war?

Because we have been told, in no uncertain terms, that that is NOT the reason we are fighting the war, which seems at odds with a capitalist society. (I was even called un-American by some robo-lemming on this site for suggesting it.)

Again, it's the policies I protest, not the troops, and not the magnicifent job they are doing.

Which policies, specifically.
