The fact that idiots flock to a particular opinion does not make that opinion wrong, nor does it make the intelligent folk holding that opinion less intelligent.

Enough of the ANTI whinning BS. The war is on, support the troops, bitch later!

The fact the war has begun does not make arguments against it invalid. I hope everyone here fully supports our troops in the sense they hope for their safety and do not attempt acts of civil disobedience or otherwise that puts our troops in direct harm (it seems here that most people hope that this action, now begun, will be completed quickly with minimal Iraqui and American casualties, which is a hope I hold as well). I do not expect nor want people to support this war only because it has begun.
To paraphrase, it is "My country, right or wrong. When wrong, to be put right, when right, to be kept that way." Not "When wrong, to be right anyway because we are the USA."
Those who support actions of the USA because it is the USA are as foolish as those who detract against the USA because it is the USA.
Let's have patriotism, not fanaticism.
