Support our troops

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, April 8,2003 8:12 p.m.

Support our troops There is a huge difference between protesting the war in Iraq and protesting the presence of the U.S. military in Iraq. I can't name one person who is in favor of war nor can I think of anyone who would say that war is a good thing.

Out of the 80 or so protesters who arrived in attempts to disrupt the commemoration of an Abraham Lincoln statue in Richmond, Va., I wonder: How many actually fought in the Civil War? The statue is intended to recognize Lincoln's trip to the once-confederate state in 1865, at the beginning of reconstruction. Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have decried the statue as honoring an invader rather than a friend. To those people, we say, "Get over it."
