This war, and my attitude

[LIDisneyFan]

Mayble I'm crazy , or in denial, or unrealistic, but even though I do not agree that we needed to attack Iraq at this point, and that some of the rhetoric was non-specific about how to prove they're disarmed (or probably haven't), now that we're in.....

I planning to support my country. I have always supported the troops, and will support my government even though I may not agree with what they've done at the time they've done it. I will hope for a fast liberation of Iraq, with little death and destruction

I won't be boycotting the French, the Russian, the Canadians, or anyone else. I don't see any purpose.

I won't be avoiding the Oscars because actors have opinions. I WILL be avoiding the Oscars because I do every year

I won't be second guessing anyone's opinions, feelings, thoughts, or actions. I cherish my country because we are free to express our opinions - even the ones I don't agree with.

I will be proud and patriotic. I won't judge those that do not appear to do the same. They may be just a patriotic as me, they're just showing it in a different way.

This is a difficult time for everyone in our country, and in the world. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs. Hopefully that's what we're fighting for.

God Bless America, her leaders, her citizens, and most of all, her troops.

Beautifully said, if I were as eloquent, I would have written it myself.

(except for the part about missing the Oscars - I'm star struck and a slave to fashion, I guess. )

OMG! I couldn't agree more! Thank you for saying it this way.

Thanks for your thoughtful, well-written post. I feel the same. And I feel lucky to live in a country where we are free to express our thoughts and concerns-even when we don't agree with each other or the government!

GREAT STATEMENT!

(P.S. I won't be watching the Oscars, because my favorite part, Joan and Melissa showing off the clothes on the Red Carpet is gone this year!)

In another post I said I won't watch the Oscars because I don't want to hear any anti-war sentiments....but I'll still watch and I'll just turn the channel when they make the speeches. That's what I do when anything comes on TV that I don't like.

I can't believe the people that are saying they won't listen to a certain radio station because they are playing Dixie Chicks music. If I choose not to listen to the music I can change the channel, just like I do when a song comes on that I don't like.

I would never presume to tell anyone else what they can or can not do. People are entitled to their own opinions, I just don't feel they should be shoved down everyones throat. JMHO
