"I wonder if we are not now in a time of peril equal to that of the 1860's...."

I believe we are, and most people in this nation don't understand what is at stake in Iraq and the Middle East.

I am amazed at the total ambivalence that so many in this nation are showing with regard to the WOT.

I work in NYC at major company; most people here are well educated and intelligent. Yet, they show total ignorance when it comes to what is going on outside of the price of gas, the cost of cable television, and how their players did in their fantasy leagues the night before. It appears that the only thing that interests them about Iraq is the England girl at the prison.

The shallow, selfish, and ignorant attitude is breathtaking in its scope and depth. It depresses me greatly when I realize the importance of the battle our troops are engaged in.

Have we really become a nation of idiots? Where is the fortitude and stock of our forefathers? I fear it may be finally gone.

I see the same thing everyday - we have become a nation of selfish idiots. Iraq is one big clusterf*** now, we can't even protect the leaders there - so how can it be deemed that we are winning? Bush is our best alternative, but even he blinked in Fallujah, causing our enemies to be even more emboldened. Our nation is just too PC and namby-pamby to truly win a war nowadays. How sad...

There is no way that the good people of our nation will come to grips with terrorism until we start to reflect Israel in our malls and stadiums.

Sorry. There are many deaths in America that must be borne first. The first response will be to change the government and try pacifism. When that fails, and only when that fails, the next government will declare martial law and give us a "patriot act 2" with real crackdowns on freedom issues and muslims. That government will change the world, and we will probably then embark on a true age of American Imperialism in order to control the nasties.

The longer it takes us to come to grip with the need, the longer the pacifist government lasts and the more deaths it takes, the greater the imperialism will be.

It takes no genius to make such prophecies. Most people only look at the first step in a process, and they are truly incapable of seeing the third step. Our children will be living in this age, but I don't expect to see it.

Take heart: we will prevail, in time.
