I do not believe that Anti-War protesters are Anti-American, in fact I do not remember typing this in this OPEN forum. lovelyivy84, that was meant for you. This is an OPEN forum, and quite frankly, this discussion is great. There has been more hostility on GreekChat when people bicker whether Phi Mu is "cooler" than Chi Omega, or if Phi Delt is "neater" than Sigma Chi.
DeltAlum, just because you are like 65 and I am not, does not make you any more "experienced" than me. I don't need to serve in a war to understand them, and if you have served in a war, may god bless you and I thank you personally. Why? Because your actions in that war have lead to the free society that we all live in today, and it allows me to walk hand in hand with my fiancé next to me, not behind me. Again, thank you. But, don't try to knock me down because of my opinions either, that would be hypocrisy.
Once again, we are AT war - not going to, or thinking about war. We need to support our troops, support the actions of our Government and all that they believe, and stand behind them as a nation to show Iraq (and all other evils) that we are united. George Bush would not lead us into something for shits-and-giggles.
This is a war, there will be body bags, there will be deaths and sadly that is how it is. Deal with it.
Lastly, George Dubya did not take that Marines life the other night. Yes, I feel sorrow for his family and his father, but that man CHOSE to join the military and fight for his country....And I thank him for it.
I am Pro- American

LOL. ZZkai ai aye whatever: Get over yourself. In a hurry.
You know, I think some of you are missing the point of the war protesters. While we are AT war and it may seem sort of obsolete to protest it, I think are most of them are there to show the world that not EVERY American thinks this is right. I doubt they really think their protests will HALT the war, it is more demonstration of dissent to show other nations that not every American blindly agrees with whatever Bush says just because he is the President.
Personally, I do not agree with this war. But since we are in it, I sincerely hope that our troops perform what they are asked, and do so swiftly so that it can be over. I am not un-patriotic, I just do not agree with BUSH or his lies. Guess what? The Constitution says I can do that! And you know what is REALLY unpatriotic? When people say "if you don't like it then leave!" To me, that is the most UN-American thing ever.
