Good morning unclewest,

I appreciate your comments on the two-front fight in which we're engaged.

There was a segue toward the end of your post which confused me, however:

it is easy to focus on guns, tanks, soldiers, bombers and battles and body counts. but make no mistake about it...much of our strength is rooted in our system of moral values. it is essential that our military and civilian leaders keep that system intact. American soldiers will not follow an immoral leader to lunch much less to war. we must fight all attempts to lower our moral standards just as we fight those who attack us with weapons.

if we slide our moral scale down, America will fall off the face of the earth much like the roman empire.

What do you mean when you say "moral"? The Old Testament morality? New Testament morality? Pre Viet Nam war morality? Who will judge and legislate this moral scale?
