Let me understand this. If I am opposed to the war it's acceptable for me to say so before the actual fighting. Once the fighting starts I must immediately put my view on hold and stand solidly behind our troops and President as a show of support. After the fighting I can return to voicing my anti-war stance.

And if I say I support the troops and still oppose the reason for their being in a war, that doesn't count. For the War Hawks, once that button is pushed and the missile launched all Patriotic, Red-White-And-Blue, God-fearing, True-Blue, Loyal Americans must immediately fall in line. If you don't then you *MUST* be either a traitor or a terrorist.

Good reason to keep having wars then isn't it?
