Please elaborate a bit further what you mean by anti-American. Is it anti-American to question a government that was supposed to serve the people, instead of herd the people? Who's doing the brainwashing? The label "anti-American" is affixed so readily to anybody who thinks for themselves it seems, just because somebody is against this outrage invasion of a country that posed a lesser threat to us than many others, that makes them anti-American? Just because somebody would rather our soldiers be here at home with us, instead of fighting a war not to defend our country, but to defend several key corporations' bottom lines, that means they are "against" the soldiers, right? Let's put it in perspective, if one person would prefer you be home with your family for the holidays, and another thinks you should be taking gunfire, for whatever reason other than defending your family from an actual tangible threat, which person would you truly feel is against you?
