Sorry. You stepped into the middle of me defending my son's honor. I should not have taken my hostility out on you.
I don't much care if Bush doesn't express my thoughts in his speeches. I think he's doing a fine job. I'd like it if he identified Islam as the enemy, but he has some valid reasons for not doing so. Not every muslim wants us dead, just as not every American wants us to win the war.
I don't think anyone here is criticizing you for defending your son's honor. Questioning our government's motives in this war does not reflect on the efforts and virtue of individual soldiers. In fact, if this country had engaged in a similar kind of reflective assessment of the Vietnam War we may not have p@ssed away 58,000 American lives in the process.
