I also think that those who are anti-war deserve to have their voice heard.

dwbh, I am truly not a "hard-liner" or a "war monger" but I strongly agree with GW in what he said about this particular war: Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.

So, if a person is "anti-war" in that a person doesn't like the way it's going for us -- and, one has a better idea on how to win the war, then, yes, I am most interested in hearing what you have to say.

But, if a person is "anti-war" in that a person doesn't like us being involved in this war, and wants it to stop, then, I say: Go talk to the people who orchestrated this horrific tragedy and join their side.

I have never felt this way before, but I do now, as of this date, concerning: this war.

I haven't heard any other good ideas either, but that doesn't mean they can't try. =) They don't want to "win a war", but they want to ensure that we are no longer threatened by these terrorists, just like us. And they shouldn't be shut out, called anti-American, or whatever because they're trying to reshape their beliefs around what happened on 9/11.

This is the first war I've ever supported myself, including Vietnam and Desert Storm, and I had a tough time coming to grips with the reality that innocent Afghan civilians are going to be extraneously killed. But that fact that more civilian deaths would result through inaction in the long run convinced me.
