I am oh-so upset with what we are doing with this war, as you can tell by my rantings And I am not just upset about what we are doing, but how we are discussing it. I just can't believe the simplistic level at which we are debating these issues. I am so ashamed of our leaders. I have only a high school education (with a dribble of college courses) and I would think that the greatest minds of this country, when debating these events, would be using terms, creating concepts, broaching solutions that would make me stretch mentally and at least have to look up a new word or two in the dictionary. Instead, I listen, with a dropped jaw, to the most simplistic, childish, jingo-istic clap trap imaginable, and no one calls them on it. God, I wish they would talk to me as an adult! Make me work, challenge my intellect, put me in mind of the men of the Enlightenment. But no. Here are a few articles that I have come across that say the obvious, say it well, and agree with me:
Can't believe I am recommending an article by Pat Buchanan, but I am. He's absolutely right on.
