You can't see what I meant and choose to personalize it. I was trying to defend where I am coming from since Mary was questioning me. When you have posted often about your motivations being love and peace and understanding, have I or others ever leapt out at you with outrage and said "who are you to accuse us who disagree with you of being hateful, warmonging peace-destroyers?" That would be off the chart now, wouldn't it? Not to assume to speak for you, but I think I can guess you would be baffled and feel very shut down by such a reaction. > How dare anyone imply that I am anti-American. For the 50th or so time, I do not think you or anyone else here protesting a war are anti-American. What I would consider anti-American sentiment would NOT be related Americans here dissenting war. Now if Osama himself was on here ranting "death to America," I would not feel it was improper to make the charge against him. Also certain journalists or writers or politicos at large in the world who have had a long-standing concerted opposition against America are, IMO, fair game for my dissent against them. Kakki
