I take exception to Sat66 when it's assumed that anyone who disagrees with the war as a liberal.
If questioning the governments motives and honesty makes me a liberal then so be it. If studying the situations in the world and forming my own opinion makes me a liberal, then so be it.
If accepting the findings of the 911 Committee (no WMD, no terrorists, no terrorist support) makes me a liberal, then so be it.
If I'm required to blindly accept my parties policies regardless of their basis in fact, then it's all yours.
We all have fear about what the future holds for us but one thing is for sure, when we quit questioning the policies of our government and accept whatever is thrown at us, we cease to deserve what so many have died to preserve, protect, and defend.
The brave men and women who defend our counrty with their lives aren't doing this so we can all be lap puppies for either party.
The best way to dishonor our troops is to blindly accept what our leaders tell us.
The fact that we can have this discussion is proof that they are doing their job in an exemplary fashion. I hope we deserve it!
