As Americans, we are free to share our thoughts

To the Editor:

This is in response to Mr. Jesse Webster’s March 28 letter to the editor. We shouldn’t stop protesting and sharing our thoughts just because we go to war. When I support something, I believe in it. I don’t believe we should be at war with Iraq, therefore, I don’t support it.

It would be a little easier to support someone who was drafted to go over there, but when you sign up, you know what you are preparing for. Just like policemen, firemen, the coast guard, and others, you are paid to protect. It is pretty amusing how you say you are keeping the “evil people” from killing us, but many of the people over there would consider us the evil ones.

You also say we are “whining” about you fighting for our freedoms. Last time I checked, this war had nothing to do with our freedoms. This war may have the support of most Americans, but it won’t have mine.
Sincerely,
