Like Charles Rangle, I support the troops (hope they'll be safe, etc.), but not the war. Saddam isn't even close to being an eminent threat, so we can explore diplomatic measures for a while longer. Or at least come up with a better Al-Queda/ Iraq link. The Saudis have a clear terrorist link, yet we continue to kiss their asses, diplomatically speaking. Makes me question Bush's commitment to national security, quite frankly.
IMO, people overseas are more likely to know about the US than vice versa. US television, and more specifically, US news sources like CNN and (*shudder*) Fox News are available to an international audience. They see Sean Hannity's stupidity on display just like we do . And news magazines like "Time" and newspapers like the New York Times are also available internationally. However, I bet few of us Americans watch CSPAN on Sunday night to see British Parliament (entertaining as hell ) , or watch BBC America, read The Economist news magazine, or read an online European/ Asian paper. While it's obvious that some are anti American just for the sake of being anti- American, it seems to me that far more people (both domestically and abroad), get the "anti- American" label unfairly (including myself on some occasions, though living in New York City, with a 74% war disapproval rate, makes it fairly rare). Well, as I said before, here's to a safe return for our troops (your son included of course, SheliaM).
