re: I think the schism back then was between the relatively young and the old. This is one is different.......it cuts right through every age group and every economic group. The right is challenging every precept we have. They are making every effort to promote their ideology on all levels of our society. You have no idea the level of resentment felt by those who do not agree. You are right and wrong. The "resentment" from Vietnam was primarily by age... but it was at least as deeply felt. In fact I keep wondering "where are the students"? In any country in an immoral action (Vietnam, Tiananmen), it's always the students that take to the streets. Nothing from our young people....

So your assertion is that any war that isn't "necessary for the survival" is senseless and evil? So for example the US fighting in WWI and Korea was senseless and evil? I don't have to wait 20-30 years. I said 10 or 20 not 20 or 30. The evidence is in. Not yet. The right is challenging every precept we have. You could just as well say the left is doing the same. But really its mostly just more partisanship and less trust of the other side than it is wider difference in politics and ideology than we have had for most of our history. They are making every effort to promote their ideology on all levels of our society. As is the left. Tim
