FL, All anti war folks supporting america?? Thats a stretch. I think it is legitimate to believe that some in the anti war movement are anti-american and are trying to get others to march with them. Of course those others motives are not in question here. I found it that way during vietnam and i was part of that peace movement. I had to walk a fine line. There were some in the peace movement who rooted for the enemy and were encouraged by american casualty figures for they served their purposes. As a moderate anti war guy, we needed the radicals to make noise but not to run the movement. From what i saw this weekend, many good folks attended and mostly leftists of questionable ideology performed on stage along with the usual Hollywood types. Some of those leftists may root for an american defeat. Lets not be naive about this point. I believe Nadine would agree largely with this post. Mike PS I have not run into any anti americans on this thread and it is pretty evenly divided here over iraq.
