I was opposed to the war as well, ADN should have a lovely letter to the editor I wrote during the initial offensive about Abu Ghraib and what it did during that time and repercussions, was disgusting. A black eye for this nation. We sacrificed our freedom that was brutally and hard won during the revolutionary war to simply hand it off in the name of fear (patriot act) because what? A building was hit and a few thousand lost. I was effected too, hurt like hell but who and what are we anymore? Remember that total crap? Green, yellow, red terrorized alerts and everyone freaking out constantly? It just keeps getting worse and here my whole life I thought we were strong. The division just keeps getting worse and our enemies are achieving their goals so I ask you, how do we remember what we stand for? When does it click? 
I argued with my mother too lol, weapons of mass distraction- what? It all seemed so transparent, the beginning of the end.
