Are all you people dense!? In those three years, we - the United States - was not engaged in a fighting war. How hard is that to understand? We are in a fighting war now with our men and women in the field. We all know the danger facing us with the war we are in now, yet this country throws the ring to those who will make us weak.
Good point. And historical analogies don't hold up well anyway. We didn't have people blaming the disaster at Tarawa, for example, on the incompetence of the Roosevelt administration. And you could tell the difference between Hitler's rhetoric and our own opposition party. Those times are gone, maybe forever.
Now everybody: 1) take an Ambien 2) wake up in the morning and take your SSRI of choice 3) become an activist and let's pound the crap out of the Dems in '08.
Good night.
