When we actively protest against a war, our enemies see that we are divided and are strengthened by this knowledge. At home, anyone who disagrees with the war, after the fighting begins, is considered unpatriotic, or worse, a traitor.
We are fighing for Democracy. Democracy is the freedom and the right to choose for ourselves what is right and what is wrong. It is the freedom and right to speak freely to those around us and try to convince them to support what we support.
I believe that it is a moral obligation to speak out against what we believe is wrong, even if doing so is unpopular. Abraham Lincoln did it. Martin Luthor King did it. But what I want to know is, "How can I be a responsible American without being branded UnAmerican:?
One more thing:
How can wars end if noone is allowed to speak out against them?
