[Vision2020] Now we have come to war

[Thomas Hansen]

I agree 100% Mr. Westberg.

Here's to a quick and decisive war with minimal (if any) casualties.

Those of us who have been and remain opposed to this war find ourselves in 
the odd position of wanting the same results President Bush does, a quick, 
decisive end.  Unfortunately, there will be those who will use a simple 
equation regarding support or non-support of what has begun. 1. Not 
supporting this action equals 2. Not supporting our troops equals 3. Not 
being patriotic.  I agree with Don Coombs.  Of course we want our troops to 
come through this with with absolute minimal injury.  We wish the same for 
innocent Iraqi citizens.  We who continue to oppose this war are no less 
patriotic than those who advocate it.  I believe our reasons for opposition 
are based on patriotism, not the lack of it.  May this end quickly and well.
