i in no way shape or form support this war. i do like our president. i think he is a good man. i just wish i could understand why he thinks this is necessary.
i know the troops are americans just like us. i do have sympathy for their families. i just cannot say that i support them. they are doing something that i dont agree with. how can i support them? or stand behind them? really, those two are the same thing.
i am just disappointed with this whole situation.

Smiley brings up an interesting point. If you are morally opposed to an action, and believe that others should be opposed as well on moral grounds, how can you support others with the opposite opinion? Walk another step further, and one has to ask, if you don't support them on moral grounds, can't you accuse each person who decided on that course of action of choosing an immoral path?
I was going to try and make the question concrete, but I can't think of a good hypothetical.
