Ahem.

If you are asserting that only the relatives of the people killed in 9/11
and the soldiers who fought in Gulf War I and II are allowed to have an
opinion regarding the government's motivations in waging those wars, I
beg to *strongly* differ with you.

One doesn't need to have personally lost a loved on in the war to ask why
we're over there without a formal declaration of war.

One doesn't need to have personally been shot at to ask why enough body armor
wasn't made available when this war was planned.

One doesn't need to be an actual employee of the NSA or CIA to ask questions
about the WMD intelligence and how it was interpreted.

And there is most certainly *no* contradiction in praising the valor of the
grunts patrolling the streets and getting shot at, and putting themselves in
harm's way, and at the same time have deep doubts regarding those that are
making the high-level decisions.
