35. We all have equal legitimacy to be against this war
My problem with this is it plays right into freeper hands - we need someone who lost a son there to give the position "legitimacy." We don't. We can be against this damn war if we don't know a single troop.

It's a political issue and the freepers and PNAC keep trying to make it personal and we keep letting them. They keep framing it that way.

We should let the grieving grieve and insist on political opposition, based on the fact there is no need for that war, to drive the protest. We don't need a personal loss to be able to do that.
