While I was against the Iraq War, or at least the way the Iraq War was conducted, I have to say that there are many anti-war protestors who are largely clueless. I consider myself reasonably well-informed...and I certainly don't have any clue as to any alternative. Which is probably why my contribution to the debate normally consists of snide comments. But going out on the streets and telling the troops to leave Iraq, and comparing Bush and Blair to Hitler, and all that, is counterproductive at this point. Those who were pro-war should not automatically react badly to any sort of criticism, and those who were anti-war shouldn't cloud the issue by questioning the other sides morals. It's too late for that now.
