Very interesting read and good suggestions. Send our soldiers cookies, gifts and warmest wishes to come home quickly and safely, not news images of angry mobs of protestors.

People should do this regardless of their opinions. If you are againt the war: protest to Bush, not to the soldiers. The soldiers are just doing their job.

Like I said before, I am a product of the Vietnam era. I realize that soldiers are folks like my Stepdad & my Grandpas. I have nothing against seeing Saddam removed from power. I have something against what Bush & congress have done to my rights as a Citizen & a worker.
