JF, Maybe those of us that are more generational "invested" in this country have a more critical and analytical perspective. I figure those from the "red states" are the most "generationally invested" in this country. In any case, I'm not seeing much leadership from Washington these days. "Stay the course" seems like an excuse to assume the status quo out of political cowardice. Tenchusatsu

Maybe those of us that are more generational "invested" in this country have a more critical and analytical perspective. We've got a deeper understanding of what America is all about, what we have to lose, and what it took to get where we are. Just a thought. Hell yeah, leave me out of it... lol Let me guess, your ancestors were slaves?

Op-Ed Contributor 2,000 Dead, in Context By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON Published: October 27, 2005 Valletta, Malta AS the aggregate number of American military fatalities in Iraq has crept up over the past 13 months - from 1,000 to 1,500 dead, and now to 2,000 - public support for the war has commensurately declined. With the nightly ghoulish news of improvised explosives and suicide bombers, Americans perhaps do not appreciate that the toppling of Saddam Hussein and the effort to establish a democratic government in Iraq have been accomplished at relatively moderate cost - two-thirds of the civilian fatalities incurred four years ago on the first day of the war against terrorism. nytimes.com
