Ted, And frankly, those of us opposed to this war are not much better. We knew that this war was wrong from the get go but did not object strongly enough.

I understand your disgust for what those soldiers did. They ought to be thrown in the brig and forced into hard labor for years, not only for the act itself, but also for undermining whatever good will anyone in the world had left for America.

But why do you think you anti-war guys didn't object "strongly enough"? What more could you have done? More human shields during the main combat portion of the Iraq war? Stronger acts of "civil disobedience"? More active, direct support for the "freedom fighters" (Saudi-style)?

I think you're being disingenuous with this "hindsight." Maybe it's because you still see more support for the Iraq war than you would have liked.
