John Edwards has started a website called Support the Troops. End the War to encourage people to action this Memorial Day to end the war.
Here is a statement from Edwards...
As citizens, we honor and support our troops for their service and sacrifice.
As Americans, we are blessed by that sacrifice and support, which keeps us safe and keeps us strong.
And as patriots, we call on our government to support our troops in the most important way it can - by ending this war and bringing them home.
If Americans across the country rise up and demand an end to this war, Congress will find the courage to take decisive action, and the president will find he has no choice.
The troops in Iraq today, and their families, continue to sacrifice beyond what any of us have any right to ask. So it is certainly not too much to ask that the American people sacrifice some part of Memorial Day weekend in return - to honor and remember all those who have gone before in service to our country and to let our government know that we support our troops today; we honor all they have given and all they still risk; and we want to end this war and bring them home.
This Memorial Day weekend, we will all take responsibility for the country we love and the men and women who protect it. We will volunteer, we will pray, and we will speak out.
Each of us has a responsibility to act, a duty to our troops and to each other. Support the troops. End the war.

The fundamental failing in the liberal premise of appeasement is the insane notion that Iraq is a seperate war. Regardless of how you think it started, the Islamofacsists have made it a major battle ground.
Just like WW2 we are fighting these bastards everywhere, and in real combat in places like Somalia, the Phillipines, Indonesia and Afghanistan in addition to Iraq.
Wishing it not to be so doesn't change the rather unpleasant reality. Since its easier to find and kill them in Iraq, where the friendlies out number to hostiles about 95-5% and its easy to supply the friendlies, why wouldn't we want to target a campaign there.
Kind of like why we invaded French North Africa and not Germany in WW2.
Iraq is a distraction in war against al Queda. We are pouring all of our resources in Iraq and that is preventing us from fighting and capturing al Queda and terrorists elsewhere.
John Edwards is holding Memorial Day "hostage" for his own political gain.
He's using Memorial Day as his personal political showcase.
Back off, John Edwards!
