Someone left a "support our troops" yellow ribbon on my
doorstep. With a letter. Apparently someone in our neighborhood will be returning from Iraq and they would like all these displayed.

I'm fine with that. My opposition to the war is not being told the truth (not just about WMD, but I truly believe this war is about oil and not for the reasons soldiers are told they are risking thier lives for!) I have no problem supporting the troops and actually don't think we are doing enough. BUT I do want a bumper sticker to balance this out to let passerbys know I support our troops but not Bush. Any good ideas?

Also many, "support the troops, hate bush"

17. I made my own using Picasso's Guernica and MLK's famous words...
I got ink jet/laser bumpersticker paper from Office Max and self-laminating sheets (they don't require heat. they're sticky on one side). From the PBS web site on Guernica -- http://www.pbs.org/treasuresoftheworld/a_nav/guernica_nav/main_guerfrm.html --, I downloaded the picture




and surrounded it with words from Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's famous speech, Beyond Vietnam http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/publications/speechesFrame.htm -- "...wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows -- Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.<"[br />

18. A bumper sticker that goes good with the ribbon reads
I support our troops but not their commander and chief.
