RE: war protests (PC, NJC)

Mary, I agree with Kakki that some anti-war campaigners seem to be more anti-Bush than anti-war as such. I'm not saying that you are, but some do seem that way to me, speaking as a non-American. There is a bitterness and vehemence in the way they speak about Bush that, in my view, may be blinding them to the facts of the case in hand. Because, really, it shouldn't matter WHO is advocating this war. What matters is - is the war a just one? To judge that fairly and with clear eyes, we need to drop our ideologies, as far as possible.
