"DEBATING STRATEGY FOR WAR IS NOT AN INSULT TO OUR TROOPS...
Listen to the Bush Administration's renewed defence of the war in Iraq and you hear a terribly offensive message creeping through: If you don't support our war, you don't support our troops.
Keep the troops out of this debate. Soldiers don't make the decision to go to war, politicians do. Nor do the troops on the battlefield have much say in how the war is executed, how resources are deployed, or how long the conflict will last.
Speaking out against a bad war is no slight to the troops. In fact, sparing them from being sacrificed to a questionable cause is the best support you could give them. The Iraq war and where it's headed should be vigorously debated, dissenting views should be heard, and a better defence of administration policies should be offered than, if you criticize us, you're betraying the troops..."
