I spent way too much time debating the pro-war stance. I've pretty much resigned myself to not caring about arguing anymore unless someone brings it up.

I also have abstained from reading indepth coverage of the war, only reading broad articles on factual progress made by coalition forces.

At this point, the war is out of our hands. We must stick with our plan and follow through, and I find no comfort in reading speculation and news on what's happening with the war - it can only make us weaker of will. Hussein will attempt to use graphic images of the war to weaken the will of the coalition forces (the prisoners were one method). I refuse to give into that game.

War is ugly. You should of realized this before the war started.

But as for a final note regarding protesters who block traffic and such; you are simply alienating more people away from your position.
