It sets up justification for inexcusable actions. Those of us who disagree with the war should grieve for this kind of action, and take measure about our own language when something like this happens. I would challenge those who agree with the President and the war to do the same. Foston Agreed with Everyone on this,

But I ask you...when some anti-Iraq war protester gets beaten up and called a "jihadi lover" because Rumsfeld is going around telling people that questioning your leaders is like appeasingHitler and helping the terrorists...I wonder if you'll denounce that rhetoric. Who ever did this should be locked in a room with some G.I.s for about an hour. I'm a liberal...and I fully condemn this kind of behavior. But don't go getting all high and mighty on rhetoric when your Republican leaders are basically saying we want America to lose the war against Al Qeada. That is not true...and will probably end up with some lib getting beat up by some idiot with a W bumper sticker. This is a reprehensible act.
