No, personal involvement doesn't necessarily mean physical involvement. It means knowing people, having friends, having family who are directly affected by war. Otherwise, war is even more of a sanitized videogame (remember that nightshot of an Iraqi being pulverized by a helicopter) than it already is. Why do you think the Bush administration brings back the wounded and dead in the dead of night? Why? Why do you think that supporters of this war hide the realities of war and protest even the reading of names to memorialize them? Why? Do you think people, when confronted with the reality of war, will tend to not support it? Egads. What an idea for the human race.
