OK- I guess the horsepower is not that important..

I wish safety and a speedy return to our Homeland to ALL Americans serving their Country!!

Arkie, God Bless you and your son.

As for the protests, Remember this:

"casual" anti-war peaceniks are not the ones protesting. They are organized and led by anti-Bush and anti-American activists. Extremists, by their very nature, are intollerant of the opposing view.

I know of several people who were at or near some of the recent protests in the Boston area and NYC.

All eye-witnesses told of no unified slogan. Some cried of an "oil war". Some to get out of Isreal. Others held the American flag; UPSIDE DOWN.

Some signs read "Bush = Evil"

"The evil empire is U.S."

The list goes on.

Is this what our freedoms are all about? To gather for no reason other than to oppose American intervention no matter what?

I wish we didn't have to threaten war. But let's not forget who is the bad guys here. And it ain't U.S. !
