so why is it anti-american to disagree with the president??
Seems pretty pro-american to me to not want to send our young people off to die...even if all we care about is ourselves...I do support our troops. I don't want them coming home in body bags.

Back when I was around 6 or so, my mom and dad might have differences of opinion on discipline. My tiny 6 year old brain recognized that if I could create dissent, I would get my way.

It surprises me that the Left hasn't learned what a child would know, that with dissenting actions, they are providing Hussein with the wedge he feels he needs to get his way. Want to avoid a war? Then shut up, and Hussein just might realize that both mom and dad are mad this time, and he'd better do what he's told.

No that's cowardly and ignorant.

It is pro-American to support the concepts of America...inalienable rights, due process, the right against cruel and unsual punishment. These things are being withheld from the Iraqi people by an evil tyrant. A man who murders, rapes, tortures, and maims his own citizens.

The only moral course is to remove this man from power asap.

American fighting men have given their lives for this cause before, and when you ask today's military, they will tell you they are ready to do it again. It find it reprehensible for an enabler of murederous despotism like yourself to speak on their behalf, frankly.

My son fought in Desert Storm. I didn't want him coming home in a body bag either. However, if we are unwilling to use our military force for a just cause and to defend our citizens, when WILL we be willing to use it? If we are unwilling to use our troops we might as well lie down and invite terrorists to come in and rule over us! Thank God we are not French!

I don't either, but freedom is isn't free. If we don't stand now we will be using those body bags in our on country. To but it blunt, the price now is cheaper than what it would be later. Don't think for a moment if we back off now that it will be over. That tactic never works. Pick up the nearest history book.

"I believe in the United States of
America as a Government of the people, by the people,
for the people, whose just powers are derived from the
consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a
sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles
of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for
which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
"I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it, to
support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

Freedom isn’t just a word it takes hard work to make it flourish and grow and sometimes we must defend it from weeds and other unwanted growth.

If the shoes fits...........

Um, that's why no one calls us France.
