It amazes me that people will claim they are fighting for freedom and the American way but when people use the wonderful thing that is freedom of speech to voice their opinions, people get so offended and for some reason think that they don't have the right to express that opinion anymore.
You feel sorry for people that don't agree with you? Personally, I feel sorry for people who don't have the right to disagree. I think freedom of speech and thought is a great thing and it's best when people use it. It opens dialogs, let's people see things from other perspectives and sometimes teaches people about things they never knew.
I fully support our military. I have nothing but respect for people who willingly give themselves to the service of their county but I do not agree with this war. I cannot support an administration that tells me flat out that we are invading a county because of weapons of mass destruction and later to find out that there was never any evidence to show those weapons ever existed. As for the 4,200 that are dead... those are humans. Those are people who left behind people who loved them and who will never again enjoy the wonder that is life. I do not think of them as a number. I do not think of them as a statistic. I believe that with video games, tv and so much violence around us that people think of them as a number and forget that they are real. This is not a video game, it's life. I also cannot support anyone who goes into a war without an exit strategy. I would never say a bad word about the men and women who are serving right now, all I want is for them to come home.
Some of us have the abilitly to discuss our opinions without name calling.
