Our military and economy are strong enough not to need the kind of sacrifice that our grandparents willingly gave. <BR/><BR/>We could all ride around on bald tires, but what would be the use? That would not make more good tires available to our soldiers, not this time.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I supposed President Bush could have asked us all to boycott the evening news as well as the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and Time magazine. If we had done that, the war would probably be very different right now.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308718033523749442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489148.post-28480197234755647112007-02-21T15:21:00.000-06:002007-02-21T15:21:00.000-06:00Oh, so true.

I also think we ask too little of ourselves, and we're accustomed to believing we don't need such action to preserve or promote freedom any more. We incorrectly assume all cultures are rational and level-headed, have moved beyond measures of violence to influence opinion and are willing to resolve global issues over tea and crumpets.<BR/>then again, our own congressional sessions end in shouting matches and silent treatments. So, I guess we're not that much more civilized than the people we fight.jenAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160467673114640243noreply@blogger.com
