Well I have to say I disagree with Bush.(about the millionth time ive said that since he was elected. oOo Ok first of all, the people of America have a right to voice their opinions. This woman has suffered a tradgedy, that I would not wish upon my worst enemies. She has lost her son. She has a right to protest, and she has a right to want the remainder of the US troops to be brought home so more families need not suffer her fate. On the other hand, that is what terrorists want. For America to not be united. And, in a way, when Americans aren't united, they are weakened. But, the fact is, we have over 200 million people living in America, and there is no way every single person is going to, without a question, be united in everything. And that undermines one of the things that makes America so great. People here are allowed to voice their opinions, and are allowed to debate with people who they disagree with. One of the underlying principles on which America was founded on was free speach, and the founding fathers knew, even then, that as a result of free speach America would never be completely united. But thats whats so great about america. It encourages indivisuality. And if we have come to the point, where we cannot voice our opinions about this war, without being accused of weakening the united states as a whole, then the terrorists have done a better job with us then they could ever have hoped.
