Sorry, I disagree. There you go again with the condescension. You are presupposing that you know better than they do about what they are doing. You are implying that what they are doing is useless, meaningless. You are implying that what they are trying to do in Iraq is for nothing, in vain. You say all this, as they fight and die this very minute! This is support???
The time for dissent has passed. Congress has debated, and they have spoken. Our troops are in place and under fire. It is now (or was) the Public's job to express approval for the mission of the troops. It is the Public's job to support the mission with the intent of keeping troop morale high, so as to better insure a preferred outcome.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11

I've heard this once or twice. It might make sense in a vacuum, but not since 9/12/01. If Iraq behaved as Greenland I could agree, but alas. Now, it is about trying to establish an ally in a hostile land.
