      <![CDATA[We may be wearing our welcome on this one, Triangler, but I appreciate your thoughts and take your point, even though I don't quite agree with it. Fortunately, though, two-thirds of the voters now  think the war was a mistake.

      <![CDATA[Congrats to Doug Johnston for reversing his initial plan to make flag-draped mock coffins the centerpiece of this event. They were the primary reason critics like Capt. Patrick Roberson called the planned ceremony a "perversion and exploitation of our fellow troops and loved ones' deaths" (as quoted in your column).

      <![CDATA[Let me note here, in anticipation of what I'll say in my column when I write it later, that the service today was conducted without coffins. Doug Johnston decided that, while he never intended them as an emblem of protest, the coffins were tagged as such by our critics, so why retain them when they were never the point to begin with?

      <![CDATA[Bob, it's very patriotic to oppose the ongoing nightmare of the Iraq war. But anyone with a little common sense can see there's plenty of ways to protest without staging events like today's.

      <![CDATA[Triangler: I want to respond to your first statement, which is true in what I think is a most unfortunate way. The gist of what you're telling me is that if I'm against the war and I try to honor the troops, that will be used against me somehow ("plays into their hands"); however, if I'm against the war and I don't honor them, then I'll be accused of not honoring them.

      <![CDATA[Bob, this event plays right into the hands of those who want to paint anti-war activists as lacking respect for the troops. In the Dennis Rogers column that Doug Johnston refers to above ("Not the day for protests," May 25), Rogers' very eloquent appeal directly contradicts your invitation for people to attend Monday's planned mock funeral procession at the state Capitol.
