Thank you from the USA for doing the right thing and protesting
to our president and his entourage over the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
It is amazing here in the U.S. how the great majority don't know or are ill-informed
on the lies the invasion was based on.

Millions of us here in the USA have our hearts and minds with you in the U.K
as you tell our president you differ strongly with his polices. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you! We admire and respect you Brits for doing what we have been trying
to do. Our gratitude to you.

As a fellow Missourian said:

"My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its office-holders." (Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, 1889)

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may. (Mark Twain)

Respectfully,

American Vet
