I had previously not replied to this post because I was wondering about what Soledad recently brought up. I had hoped we (the U.S.) would not bring 9-11 into either protests or support rallies for this war.
I think the rally undermines the U.S. efforts, personally.

I don't intend for this to be a slam, or to "bring down" the thread. Just mentioning that I had a similar...reaction... to the story.
My apologies in advance for any offense.
