I don't think so...and many have blamed Pres. Bush for NOT making the American citizens "suffer"...

They point to gas rationing in WW11, the draft in Vietnam, etc...thinking if Americans "sacrificed" more, they would UNDERSTAND...

Well...first of all, the MSM and the dems, almost from 9/12/01 on, have denigrated Pres. Bush so much, why do they then think that Americans WOULD follow his suggestions of sacrifice??

One thing that REALLY chaps them and they use as a punchline against Pres. Bush is the "keep spending money" advice that he used soon after 9/11...

They laugh and say.."whoa what a sacrifice.!"...but, what they WON'T admit is...that by telling America and Americans to keep spending money...he probably kept this country from going under financially...which was ONE OF OSAMA BIN LADIN'S GOALS!!!

NOW...what can he do?? He is just ridiculed every time he gives a speech...the schools are teaching a radically different message of sacrifice (have your money go to the poor and AIDS)....

Short of another attack...which IMHO..would NOT rally the nation behind Pres. Bush...it would just bring about his impeachment hearings sooner...

I don't know HOW the country will be shaken from their self-absorption and demands of perfection....

I see it on this website...anytime a potential GOP candidate for POTUS is mentioned as favorable by a few...there are 10 more that point out any and all faults.

I am not saying we "settle" for a less than what is necessary to keep the conservative agenda..but, NO ONE is gonna be perfect except Hillary Clinton...per the MSM.

WE have a fight of our own on this continent...just as the troops have a mighty fight on their hands on another continent.

I had a late night, TXsleuth. Help me out with this one. What is it that you "don't think so" about?

I suspect that this may be the point that I was trying to make. I don't think that anyone who relies on the MSM is capable of understanding much of anything. Certainly they can't understand the danger of losing in the Middle East.

Calls to make sacrifices such as military service, gas rationing etc. would have no effect on those slack jawed fans of network TV programming. No, I'm talking about "sacrifices" akin to evacuating the radioactive rubble one's former hometown.

I think such an event, God forbid, might even concentrate the limited thought processes of the Katie Couric crowd.
