8. Conclude Dark Days Ahead
People aren't feeling this war yet. They still want desperately to believe our government is good and wouldn't launch a war of deliberate aggression where we're the "bad guys". First we were "liberating" these poor Iraqis, and now we're "assisting them"...that the "real" cause for this invasion was to somehow install "democracy", like you can uncrate it out of a box ready-made.

I'm starting to believe this is the result of a generation that grew up in total self-indulgence...being led to think America right or wrong by the wrong people and now trying to sort out how they really feel.

Right now I see so little real outrage...many of us keep it to ourselves as we're all but shell-shocked from years of right wing and now MSM assault. I don't see the real protests or civil strife I saw during the Vietnam era...at least not yet. We're gonna need a lot more coffins and a lot more financial pain before we see a real change in this country.
