I believe the purpose of the Resolution in the Metro Council was simply to support local troops that were deplyed from Metro Louisville. I don't believe the council's purpose was to debate National Security policy. Please read the Resolution again.

Yes, but this is the perennial excuse for war, is it not? "Support our troops" becomes an excuse for war, and that is simply not good enough for me, because if you have a war that is not justified, then the warriors become pawns, and often dead pawns.

I wore an MIA bracelet during the Vietman war in an effort of support, but that did not mean I supported the war. These things become blurred for a reason, and I'm sorry if I misinterpreted yours; I have friends who were journalists in your area. But "support our troops" just doesn't handle it when it comes to a war we have no business being in. This is so much like Vietnam that my father and mother must be turning in their graves.
