Last night I attended our little vigil in Plymouth center, and across the street there was a small but raucous group of "counter protesters" with "Honk if you Support the Troops" and "USA USA USA" on their signs. The funniest thing about all of this is that we agree with them, we support the troops - they are our national treasure. We send them gifts at Christmastime, and we do everything we can to support them. It's their boss we don't agree with. It was hard to hold silence when this mother yelled that her son was in Iraq. The discussion would go like this, "You want peace, don't you? Doesn't everyone?" On this we can all agree.
