Greg, sorry that offended you just thought your passion about the Iraq war might have pushed you to step up and serve. I in no way think you have to serve to be able to discuss this war or any war. But I find it interesting the majority of people(chickenhawks)in this adminstration and the right wing radio, who have no problem sending our brave men and women into harms way but wouldn't when they had a chance to serve(Cheney Five Draft Deferments). So Greg sorry if that stung a little, we all are passionate about this subject.
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else"
- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
