In fairness to Eric, I suspect that most of the rest of us are just
'talkers' as well. Anybody manning the barricades with Cindy Sheehan?
I, for one, am happy to hear Eric's viewpoint. I don't watch much
American news, so am occasionally lulled into thinking that everyone
disapproves of Bush and his phony war. The fact that Eric, as
intelligent as he is, is so persuaded of the rightness of the whole
thing, slams me out of my complacency.
We have an extended family group run something like this list, and it
has several times almost imploded over these issues -- we just don't
talk about or post anything in the least bit controversial any more to
keep some of the 'sensitive' ones from unlisting themselves. Sad.

Bush can't even convince the population there is a war. If anyone is pursuing "the illusion of safety," it's the suburban nihilists who think they can wish the conflict away and retreat to the cliches of their Sixties-left childhoods.
The Islamists know there is a war and are counting on the US suburban nihilists to help win it for them.
Okay, Eric, enough. Put up or shut up.
You say there's a war, so do something about it. www.GoArmy.com
They take anyone. They're so desperate that they are accepting high school dropouts, criminals, and so on. They even take kids with Aspergers. They're even enlisting autistic kids.
So, no more excuses. Go. Army.
