of course they're not heroes.
i think you misinterpreted what i said.
what i mean is that because dissent is allowed in america, people can protest against the war and point out to the people in power that the occupation of iraq is wrong. because dissent is allowed in america, the politicians in power must heed the voice of the people. this has led to strong factions within the government to advocate for a withdraw. thus, because we allow dissent, america can move away from its current flawed strategy in iraq towards seeking a better long term solution to the problem.
this is why in america, great disasters like Mao's great leapt forward can be avoided because people who disagree can speak up and have their voices heard.
