And of course, your reasoning is silly; not everyone that supports a war has to fight... It'd be the same as me saying to an anti-US person to go to Iraq to fight the US; after all, if you're so anti-US, *do* something instead of criticizing them on a website...

Migrate to the US, and sign up. We'll no doubt be needing you pretty soon.
And as far as doing something "anti-US," now <i>that's silly</i>. I love the US. I'm just against the current actions of our administration, in otherwords making me "anti-war," and I usually support military action. I wasn't complaining when we were bombing Al-Caeda caves, that's for damn sure. They attacked us, and killed civilians doing so. I supported the first Desert Storm. While I admit we're a little to blame for Hussein being in power, he was murdering his own people and he was a threat to us back then. Of course, our President at the time screwed the pooch on that situation by not dealing with the problem when it actually was a <i>problem</i>. So, Saddam did nothing for 12 years other than make a cameo appearence in the South Park movie, and now we're attacking him because he <i>might</i> have passed a note to Bin Laden during gym class and also <i>might</i> have chemical weapons. Rather than wait 5 extra minutes to see if he had WMD, and if he did I would have supported military action to disarm the country, we jumped the gun, thus making us look like assholes in the world view, which as a result, will bring on more terrorist attacks.
I guess I come off as anti-US when I point out various fuckups we've made, but that's only in hopes to that maybe a little reality will sink into the heads of the 100% pro-war people who justify things by "We're good, they're evil."
And there really is no effective anti-war thing that anyone can do other than just talk about it on websites.
