I know the gop is called the stupid party, but the idea that republicans can have the confederate flag hung around their neck is ridiculous! it's a democrat flag! the flags - states that seceded during the civil war were all democrat states. that's their flag. the slave states were democrat states! the racist states until the 1960s were democrat states!

Let us remember with devotion that the flag we love and honor is the flag of freedom that flew in victory at yorktown, the flag the united states marines raised on mount suribachi, the flag francis scott key saw by the dawn's early light. long may it wave.

In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

Here's the thing. just because you're pro-troops doesn't mean you're pro-war. and just because you're anti-war doesn't mean you're anti-troops. just because you don't support the war people think you are anti-troops and you are a bad guy.
War Mean Thinking
There is no military solution to the war in iraq. our troops can help suppress the violence, but they cannot solve its root causes. and all the troops in the world won't be able to force shia, sunni, and kurd to sit down at a table, resolve their differences, and forge a lasting peace. in fact, adding more troops will only push this political settlement further and further into the future, as it tells the iraqis that no matter how much of a mess they make, the american military will always be there to clean it up.
