What kills me is that the message of the masses seems to be, "Support Our Troops! As long as they agree with us."

This poem is short but beautifully crafted. Your word choices have power.

Thank you so much for the comment. Yes, so sad really. I am a active member of a anti-war war group made up mostly of Iraq war vets like me. It's so hard to explain to those who cling to the thought process of just hoping that the government (Bush admin) knows what they are doing, and is doing what is best for the country. I've found that some people are so deluded by this thinking, that is really hard to break it down for them as to the reality of things. Anyway, thanks so much again.
