"That the war happened was a great tragedy, but it served to purge a greater evil from our nation, and left us with a hard-forged character. Without that character, I fear that today, we would be a collection of balkanized petty republics and economic colonies."

You mean like we are fast becoming now? We have Mexicans in the U.S. that are demanding their own state or territory (they call it Aztlan, and their intention is that it will encompass all of the West Coast, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, parts of Utah, Oklahoma and Kansas. The Lt. Governor of California, Cruz Bustamente, is an avid member of MEChA, the Mexican group in the U.S. that is at the vanguard of this movement. And, of course, we have here a huge population of hispanics who refuse to learn English, but insist on America changing its laws and customs to satisfy them, and to make Spanish an ipso facto "official" language alongside English. Then we have the Islamists, who are daily growing more numerous, and more bold, in the U.S., and they are all for creating an Islamic "state."

I do indeed think we are becoming culturally balkanized. I think it is a part of politics becoming more about who has the power and what they will do to get it. Divide and conquer is the method chosen by the class and race hucksters.

America has had no character-defining event for a generation, something that relates to all of us in the way that the Civil War or WWII did. Perhaps the events of 9/11 will serve for this generation -- it is too early to tell.

What's astounding is how the American public can be so stupidly distracted by Kobe, Scott Peterson, American Idol, etc. to not see what's happening right under our noses. These "reconquistadors" flowing into the country daily as well as their useful idiot leaders are the real racists in this mess.
