Here is an eloquent and literate rebuttal I received:

"no, war is necessary. Would you rather be dead?! sadam was going to kill us if we didnt act first, all these protesters are stupid, their so selfish, they can take their protesting to washington D.C. not across the U.S., these poor police, they have to spend their day arresting people and sawing off the chains from people who are chaining themselves to fences and what not, the law enforcment is spending their time doing that istead of saving people who could have a house on fire or something, and blood for oil? i think not! we are going there to save lives, not for the oil, its only 40% of the oil in the world,yea we will controll it, but were not going there just to controll it, but to save american lives!"

This is the entire letter, quoted exactly. If this is any measure of the coherence of the mental processes of the opposition to the cause of peace, I can only think that there, sadly, must be a lot of people whose minds consist of a handful of 'talk radio' catch-phrases echoing around with very few nerve cells active enough to intercept them. Of course, I suppose talk radio is not really set up to help people figure how to spell the difficult words they learn there, either.
