The rally also will show support for the men and women who have families in the area who...

Lib Dems' popularity a casualty of hostilities By Anthony King (Filed: 28/03/2003) The war in Iraq has boosted Labour and the Tories but inflicted serious damage on the Liberal Democrats, according to YouGov's monthly tracking poll for The Telegraph. Before the war began, the Liberal Democrats' anti-war stance seemed to accord with public opinion but views have changed and the Liberal Democrats have suffered accordingly. As the figures in the main panel indicate, 40 per cent of voters now say they would back Labour in an early general election and 33 per cent the Conservatives. Labour has gained five points...

<p>Everyday items like these are coveted by troops fighting the war in Iraq. Americans who want to show their support can make sure soldiers get them by donating money to organizations that send care packages to the military.</p> <p>The Defense Department has recently prohibited mailings of parcels and letters to anonymous servicemembers, but has several suggestions of other ways people can contribute.</p>

http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=22270 Surrounded by memorials of war on the steps of Beinecke Plaza, about 200 Yale students and a few local residents from a range of political leanings rallied Wednesday in support of the coalition troops now fighting in the Iraqi desert. Although the rally featured politically conservative speakers, both students who have passionately protested the war and those who stand behind the leadership of President George W. Bush voiced their support for the troops at the rally, which was sponsored by the Yale College Students for Democracy. The rally drew a large number of anti-war students from the Yale Coalition...

<p>As American troops waged war in the Iraqi desert, the California Assembly continued its battle Tuesday to express its support for Americans in combat -- without upsetting the liberal sensibilities that dominate the state Legislature.</p> <p>The Democratic-controlled Assembly debated into the evening before ultimately passing on a voice vote a resolution supporting U.S. forces in Iraq.</p>

I have great respect for the men and women fighting overseas to protect our way of life in Iraq and other parts of the world. As the son of an Army officer, I understand the strength, courage and discipline required to successfully carry out their missions in hostile environments and feel tremendous pride they are representing us. Obviously, no one likes war. Our Congress and President tried hard to avoid the use of force, but ultimately decided it was the best course of action. I like the assertiveness shown by President Bush and think we owe it to our political...

Dear Americans, After months of deception by Saddam Hussein, wrangling with the United Nations, and obstruction by France and Germany, the war has finally begun. In 5 days our troops have swept nearly 200 miles across Iraq and destroyed virtually all of Saddam Hussein's forces that have stood in the way of the allied advance. The armed forces are fighting as I write this and they are performing brilliantly. Their service should fill those of us at home with nothing but pride and respect for them, and that is overwhelmingly what America feels right now. Click the link below...

WARSAW - In the past two weeks I've been to three different western European capitals -- London, Paris and Berlin. Everywhere the talk was of war, everywhere the Americans were being berated for "aggression" and "warmongering" and the "potential murder of civilians," everywhere mass demonstrations loomed. As such it was something of a relief to return to the calm of Warsaw. When I got back last weekend, as 50,000 marched in Berlin, fewer than 300 demonstrators huddled outside the U.S. Embassy for a while before drifting quietly home. The only Warsawian I saw approaching the embassy today was a woman...

Here is an editorial I wrote which I hope is of some value as a morale booster. Pass it around as you see fit. ------------------------- Gulf War Two, Week One: A Historical Perspective Imagine the impossible. It is the mid-1930s. France and Britain decide to make an issue of Nazi Germany's ongoing Versailles Treaty and Locarno Pact violations. Despite failing to gain much support from the League of Nations for military action they choose to decapitate Hitler's regime, recognizing the continuing threat it poses. They mass on the German border and interpose themselves between a tyrant and an as-yet ungrateful...
