Well, Chewbacca and Rokenn, if those civilians weren't embracing our troops with open arms, I'd say you have a point. But they are, so you don't.
But, I attack the very hypocricy in holding a "War Protest" that in and of itself turns violent. And there is no doubt that keeping me from living my life and avoiding the war on a daily basis is violence against me. Surely you do not support their right to shut down cities. Do you?
Let us not forget that during Vietnam those protestors turned violent against our troops when they returned home. Their war protests turned very violent. Do you support this too?

Your going to condemn an entire movement because of the violent actions of a small minority? I suppose I could do the same thing with the pro-war people, given the petty and not so petty hate crimes that their 'side' have done verses people of middle-eastern and French descent.
Also a large number of the signs I've seen at protests against the war are in support of the troops. I have heard no one condemning the troops for being their. Their statements are directed toward the administration that sent them over there.
