If such empty remarks are going to be given airtime they present an opportunity to define the debate and must be responded to immediately. 2006-06-22 http://bringthemhomenow.com/article.php?id=58 2006-05-10 http://bringthemhomenow.com/article.php?id=57 2006-04-30 http://bringthemhomenow.com/article.php?id=56 Giving voice to the majority of Americans who support the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, the antiwar coalition Bring Them Home Now! has created a thirty-nine cent postage stamp.
