The Cranky Little Old Letter-Writing Lady (CLOLWLTM) strikes again!
Editor -- I think the most significant thing about the protests this weekend was not the crowds at the anti-war marches on Saturday so much as the distinct absence of them at the pro-war rally on Sunday.
How can supporting this war help the troops in any way? It's hard to get excited about a losing cause that was a bad idea in the first place. It's hard to cheer as we close in on a death toll of 2,000 U.S. soldiers and uncounted numbers of Iraqi citizens.
Americans, who at the end of the day do truly value life and freedom, are coming to see that this war is profoundly destructive to these cherished values. Perhaps this is bad news for the 400 die-hard true believers, but it's good news for those who hope for a better future for all, here and abroad.

Meanwhile, that war just gets worse and worse and worse...
Sigh...
