Support your troops, bring them home not in body bags.
I am anti-war (if it isn't obvious). I don't support our actions. But, I do understand the necessity of military hierarchy. Hierarchy is what makes generals culpable for war crimes and not grunts, so long as the grunts are acting under orders. It isn't the troops fault that they are overseas, it is Bush's. I want them home, safe and sound, playing with their kids, going to school, etc. I don't want them exposed to our own depleted uranium shells.
Bush won't bring the troops home unless he gets his way. If things get ugly, war will wage on until he is out of office. He can't pull out, if he does he will comprimise our position. Think of being on trial, if you admit to sometime while testifying you are able to be tried for it. If we back down he says that he was wrong and that our actions are illegal. It will take either Iraqi surrender, US victory, or a new administration to end the bloodshed.
This isn't football, it isn't a matter of supporting your team. If this is truly about Freedom, then it is about voicing your opinions and demanding answers to the questions that are asked. If you listen to what the european newspapers are reporting you get a different picture of this war than we do, I am not saying that they are necessarily more objective that what we are getting, I am just saying that basing your beliefs and judgments without both sides of the argument is just taking it on faith, and no matter how you look at it Bush is not a divine authority.
