But back to CJ's assertion, in what way are women "progressing" on this subject? Seems to be a wash at minimum.

Where did I say anything about women's views on war?!
I said women have largely progressed from the point of looking after their warriors when they return home from battle, I said nothing about support of war.

Unlike in earlier conflicts, when polling showed far more men than women in favor of war, 87 percent of women and 88 percent of men in a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll said they support President Bush's war on terror. Only 73 percent of men and 59 percent of women told Gallup pollsters they supported the war in Vietnam during its early day”

Show me a TV poll (all seem to be marketed like a game) were women DON'T support almost anything more than men. Women are driven by emotion which those phone vote things rely on, and with the propaganda campaigns bush has been doing for the last few years, many of us have forgotten the destruction caused to the other side.
How quickly we all forget - I was FOR finding bin laden, I still am FOR finding bin laden. But i'm strongly AGAINST us using our position to blow up other people's homes, because we feel the need to 'show them who is boss' on totally unrelated issues.
I'm strongly against the attitude of people like Mike, who immediately respond with 'lets blow it up' the moment he feels even vaguely threatened (look at the korea thread! a bomb blew up a montain, Mike immediately wants to bomb north korea ... just in case!!). Mike is the western equivilent of an Islamic extremist, & like them, he thinks its acceptable when he acts that way. I'm embarassed for him and ashamed of him, and all those who feel they are justified in taking the lives of others so they can be the boss of the world.
It just amazes me that someone who has done so well in life can be so hateful towards people who have lived their lives with nothing but violence and destruction, and to take pleasure in causing them more destruction. I find that incredibly sad.
Why aren't you dropping bombs on your own cities where you THINK there might be terrorists? There are more threats from people living in the united states than the places we bombed in Iraq ...
But lets not let little technicalities like that get in the way of the masters plan
