I haven't spent hundreds of hours doing it, but I've spent a few.

I think that in this respect the WBC actually provides a service to the families of our fallen servicemen and women.

When you've got hundreds of people showing up to block out the bullshit caused by 6 or 8 radicals it sends a message of how much ordinary Americans actually appreciate the sacrifices our troops are making.

If there were no radical yahoos playing the role WBC plays there would be no real need for hundreds of ordinary Americans to show up to those kids' funerals and wave flags and just generally show support.

It sucks that there's a need, but it's gratifying to see how overwelmingly the need is being filled - and I think the parents and loved ones of our troops see that.

I agree that the only good thing that comes out of that vitriolic hate and craziness is the reaction of reasonable people of good will, like you, and like anyone who has had the opportunity and has taken that opportunity to block those dangerous crazies from fully completing their goal.

I am glad that the parents of those soldiers had the support of so many people against the stupidity and hate of so few. I certainly would be there to express my support of the family and my anger at the cruel insensitivity of Phelphs and his "troops" at the first occasion that presents itself in the proximity of where I live.
