That being said, one line caught my eye "...a way to win the war on terror." Jesus Christ, WAKE UP. "The War on Terror" is a fucking meaningless catchphrase dreamed up by the Bush administration to try and frame the meaningless clusterfuck that is the Iraq War into some sort of noble, conventional war when it is ANYTHING BUT. You CANNOT win a "War on Terror" or Terrorism or Terrorists, because there is NEVER going to be a day when we can say "whoo! alright EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO EVER WANTED TO HARM THE UNITED STATES IS DEAD/IN PRISON/OTHERWISE TAKEN CARE OF. Terrorists are not bound by religious, ethnic, or national boundaries. Their motives are based on ideas and ideologies, and those are things that will never die. If you think ANY country is capable of "winning" a war on terrorism you're a fucking moron. I disagree with demonstrating at memorial day.

If you don't think that the young people dying in Iraq for a war that is deplored by the majority of Americans and leading Military leaders cheapens LIFE, then you must be living in some strange parallel universe. Of course, I honor all who have died - I just don't want to see any more die for an obviously lost cause. I suffer for the families of those who lost their loved ones in the last four years.

Does it occur to any of you that perhaps those dead that are being honored would have preferred to live long and healthy lives? That is precisely what Edwards is fighting for - so that in future Memorial Day celebrations there will be fewer dead twenty year olds who have given up their lives in this misbegotten war, to honor. All the pomp and circumstance will not give breath back to those who die in vain. Memorial Day is to honor the dead.

Edwards — who never had the sack nor the integrity to serve himself. Kind of like Bush & Cheney but that is another story. As one opposed to Bush's execution of the war in Iraq, not withstanding the point that he has failed to connect it to the war on terror, I agree Memorial Day is NOT the place for anti war demonstrations. Memorial Day is to be a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service and NOTHING should supercede that objective. I do support the troops but do not support and I will take only an American flag with me on Memorial day. Sen. Edwards — who never had the sack nor the integrity to serve himself.

He's the worst of the Democratic candidates. I didn’t think there was much more John Edwards could do to make me like him less, until this. He’s the worst of the Democratic candidates.
