Starbucks Anti-war Hoax

(Link: Starbucks Anti-war Hoax)

Not too long ago I received an email forward about a US soldier writing to Starbucks asking them to send over coffee to US troops in Iraq. Starbucks responded by saying they will not because they do not support the war. I later found out that this is indeed a hoax.

What if it wasn't a hoax? I wouldn't disagree with Starbucks. Although, can you support something without endorsing it? What if they sent coffee over while declaring, "here's some coffee, but we hope that you all can be out of Iraq ASAP because the war sucks."

Or what if they said, "here's some coffee, take half of it for yourselves and half of it for the Iraqi soldiers, or the Iraqi children." That would be revolutionary.*

I don't intend to spark a heated discussion over the Iraqi situation, but I did want to throw it out there.

* Thought inspired by some good conversation with a buddy of mine, Jake.
