It might not always.

You have to consider: We COULD have lost the Cold War. We COULD have lost WW2. We didn't, thank God, because we had men in charge that weren't afraid, and a public that had guts and could withstand the pain of a fight.

I thought that 2004 answered that question, and that we did still have the strenght to fight. After tonight, I'm not sure.

People these days are of a different sort. They lack the resolve to press on an important issue for a lifetime. Case in point, if you look at marriage, it rarely lasts beyond a few years. I have seen a handful of people from the old generation that have lasted in their marriage for 50,60+ years. So 2004 was a reflection of this resolve, a willingness to commit for a season, but no further.

The simple answer is most people do not believe we are war.

In time they will - albeit the hard way - but they will.
