I will be the first in line for that, and will even help to organize if necessary.

I never said anyone here wished harm on the Iraqis. I am saying that they seem indifferent.

I do not buy the argument that troops are simply mindless automotons under orders to kill women and children, and civilian men, because that is what is happening daily there.

I have never supported the troops, I find illogical to support the instrument of war, and oppose the war.

The lesson that SHOULD have been learnt in Vietnam was that with enough public outcry and outrage people can make a difference. With your desire to not support the war--maybe you do--and support the troops at the sime time gives legitimacy and support to that war. It is mixed message that only serves to bolster the administrations effort to colonize Iraq.

If people stood up for there convictions maybe we would all get what we want, which is the troops out of Iraq, and the Iraqi people free to control there destiny.

Therefore, I will not support the troops ever. I will however be the first to help an Iraqi family.
