Hoping our troops win this war without high casualties (which I do, now that we're in) and wanting us to be fighting there are totally different things... it is just idiotic to say "because we are at war political dissention is wrong and you should support the president". That is just not how it works... and it never has. During wartime the opposing party has always criticized the policies of the administration (while supporting the troops in the war), whatever party they were in... I see no reason that that should change now.
The people who actually want the US to suffer high casualties and/or lose are, I bet, a definite minority of the Democratic party...
As for protestors, why shouldn't there be protests when a government is doing something this blatantly wrong?
Oh, and if you think the majority of Iraqis will welcome the conquering US troops into their country, I expect you will soon be in for a surprise... some will, but I very much doubt that it'll take long for them to agree with the rest of the Arab world and start hating us...
