You bring me back to my central point, which is that all this protest ideology prolongs the conflicts our nation finds itself in rather than cutting them short. I can see how an enemy might find encouragement in opposition to a war, but I think its a small thing compared to giving up the right to protest a conflict that one thinks is wrong/immoral/illegal. The Gulf War was a good example of get in, achieve objectives, get out. It didn't leave the protest crowd enough time to build up steam. Sometimes it happens that way. Clearly defined, achievable objectives, a moral prerogative to act, a broad coalition of support and a UN mandate. Yep, that is the way to effectively use military power.
