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.

I agree 100%. My brother is in the Air National Guard, and his belief is that this has to be done, and he's ready to go (and may well go at any moment). I say there has to be a better way. But I want every soldier to come back home.
