The lack of patriotism which protesters inadvertently display is almost repulsive. In a country which allows all people freedoms that other nations can only dream of, people still feel it is only right to point out why such wars are not right. No one in their right minds enjoys war. This includes protesters, military personnel, citizens, and even the President. However, protesters are somewhat like an orthodox religion.

This war is not for oil as many protesters believe, but in turn to protect their non-patriotic movements. The definition of a patriot is, “one who loves his country and zealously guards its welfare (Webster 531).” Protesting for peace is not guarding our nations welfare, when one man (Hussein) wants to destroy our way of life. Instead of protesting against our country, how about protesting in support of our troops who will most likely die protecting your constitutional right to protest. And when all is said and done, be peaceful that your still alive and not suffering at the hands of tyranny. John Stuart Mill said:
