16. Agree on the war issue.
I agree that the author oversimplified on the war issue, but it was also a time when the image of the Democratic Party started to change. Maybe he wanted to consider Johnny Cash as country singer that appealed to country folk and didn't consider his politics.

There hasn't been such a thing as a major "righteous war" since WW2. Americans fought in it without question. Can't argue that the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Gulf, and especially the current Iraq War had questionable motivations and morality. There were deceit, deception and agendas.
