I don't know what's so radical about showing one's displeasure about a war that was doomed to failure from the start ("Far-left protesters must stop criticizing and offer solutions," Feb 2).

You talk about how us "radical far-left" people hate America and want us to fail in Iraq.

I'm sorry, but honestly, we have already failed in Iraq.

We shouldn't have gone there in the first place and endanger our soldiers in a pointless endeavor that made Iraq worse than it was prior to the invasion.

The first gulf war was justified.

The current quagmire isn't.

I don't hate America.

I just hate what it's become because of far-right conservatives like you.
