I agree with you on Amanda

I think it is wonderful Amanda is exploring this topic and forming her own opinions. When I was 14 I almost was beaten up by a man for saying I believed the war was wrong. I resent being told I am a "coward" and a "traitor" because of my beliefs. I wish some of the anger could end on both sides and a real dialogue open. So far, I feel pushed into a defensive mode whenever I visit a VN site. Now and then people are able to talk but mostly it is hostile territory. Congradulations Amanda, for exploring our war zone.
