I think people in the states must realise that the
anti war Demonstrations are not anti American it is
just Europes way of saying that we are fed up with
America throwing it`s wait around internationally and
the argument that America has lost the lives of many
of it`s citizens,America has my sympathies in this
aspect but if every country started declaring war on
other countries because they had lost some of their
citizens through terrorist attacks then there would be
a war every other week.One must realize that one lands
pain at tragedy is no greater than any others.Take
care Brian Booth

war on some actual terrorists rather than invading an
already broken and mostly contained nation.
