I could say a lot more about this, but to my mind, you can protest the war, and at the same time, hang a yellow ribbon in the hope that the troops come home safely. Hoping for our folks to come home safe isn't at all pro-war, to my mind. Writing a letter saying, "Hey, hope you guys are doing okay" doesn't imply you hope anyone else (like the Iraqis) are being blown to smithereens.

Now, let's not go out on a limb here...

"There are reports that he was wounded, reports that he is dead, reports that he is alive," one official said, referring to Mr. Hussein. "One of those reports is probably right." (quoted in the NY Times)
