Very true - but try getting pro-war people to understand you can be both at the same time. I have just had an incredible argument with someone over this. *sigh*
I was thinking of making one that said "I support the troops, not Bush". As with your idea, it's hard to get people to see that they are separate concepts.
ps - see my LJ: We could hear from China in the next few weeks. Eeek! *g*
And I am pro-war; and I am pro-Bush; and I also see what Heidi says. I did my best to articulate it in my own LJ, which has garnered no responses.
Innocents will die no matter what unfolds; innocents have been dying over there for years, unfairly, pointlessly, endlessly. We cannot prevent innocent death; but we can choose to allow it and do nothing, or we can choose to risk causing deaths to remove a man who kills horribly, frequently, whimsically.
Do not believe that those who wage war do so joyously, or without grief.
