...or just someone who has a lot of money and supports Bush. Seriously, you over-analyze things. Analysis is not a bad thing, but you are scrutinizing everything so hard that you start to see things that aren't there.

In EVERY war people say "We need to support our president in this time of war." It is a true statement because the integrity of this country during wartime hinges on that support. You can oppose the war but support the President. I mean, do you really want us to "lose" the war? I doubt it; you just don't think it was the right thing to do. But here's the thing: you can't change the fact that it has happened. Support the President so that the war may be ended quickly, and then question him on the matter afterwards to try to prevent it in the future. Creating opposition during wartime merely lengthens the war. Hell, Vietnam probably would have been over in 1970 or 1971 if the nation weren't so divided. That would have saved two or three thousand American lives (probably more, because more lives were lost by holding the same pieces of ground than by assaulting into new territories).

If you raise hell about everything the President does during war, he's not going to be able to fully execute his strategy. Then you're fighting a limited war, which takes more time, money, and most importantly, lives in the long run. If you truly want the war to end, then support the war effort even if you disagree with the war in the first place. When the war is over, then you can criticize the president for going to war without being called a hippie, peacenik, or traitor. You will have more respect from your fellow countrymates because no one will feel that you are trying to undermine our country. People will see that you honestly support the nation and the principles for which it stands, and want to prevent us from making a similar mistake in the future.
