I think really Germany was easier than Iraq, because at least we had a fairly common culture. Also, people then didn't expect a bloodless war that would end happily in 30 minutes like some sitcom on TV.
This may be off topic, but I think it would help if we "regular folks" were asked to make some sort of sacrifice for the war. Ask us to buy War Bonds, or carpool, or send donations for packages to the soldiers, or SOMETHING to give ordinary people a way to "buy into" it.
I just don't think "go shopping" is the way to ask us to help fight the War on Terror.
Agreed.
Neither is an Administration hesitant to identify the true face of our enemy liable to maintain support for very long. We need a little less compassion and a lot more thrashing to happen before this World Wide Islamic Jihad against us is defeated.
