Thanks, I hadn't seen that.

The mainstream doesn't read that way. Those who wish the US out of Iraq and Bush out of office don't view themselves as anti-American, according to the protester's posters and statements.

You'd be hard-pressed to find any protesters out of the in the US or UK who support Hussein or OBL.

The rhetoric is getting more Vietnam-like every day.

You aren't misled, Nadine...Many of us here, and in the US, see things as you've noted in your last posts. We've commented about ANSWER, Soros and his groups, Stop the War, Rukkus, and many other groups who appear to actually be hand in glove with the terrorists...whether or not they see it that way.

Protesting is one thing....and attempting to actively undermine our soldiers and government leaders while they are fighting a war, is something else again.

Especially so when the US and the Coalition are spending their blood and treasure so that humans everywhere can live in peace.

>>>>>>>I don't think I'm so misled - after all, I listened to the speeches in the ANSWER marches with my own ears. The far-left and Wahabbi apologia did join hands on those platforms.
Nor am I making the stuff up about supporting Iraqi resistance. For example, Ted Rall wrought a column entitled "Time to Get Real in Iraq: Iraqi Resisters are Patriots" uexpress.com, where he quite definitely came out on the side of the "patriotic resistance".
