quote[President Bush assures us that the ongoing twin wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are worth the sacrifices they entail. Editorialists around the nation agree and say that a steadfast American public was willing to stay the course.
Should anyone be surprised by this national resolve, given that these wars visit no sacrifice of any sort -- neither blood nor angst nor taxes -- on well over 95 percent of the American people?]
This guy brings up a good point (and I say this with having had-and still have-family members serve in Iraq).
During WWI and WWII, there was rationing, victory gardens, and numerous personal sacrifices made by even the most ordinary civilians. Yet, Bush decides to lower taxes, and panders to corporate interests. All we complain about are higher gas prices. Does this make any sense?
