Now why those issues are currently, for many, the determinative issues in national elections when we've got young men and women being blown to bits and killing Iraqis in a war that isn't, and won't be, "won," is beyond my comprehension. Ed

Because we don't have a draft. It's a volunteer force, and one that despite the conflict (or maybe because of it) is re-upping at higher rates than in peacetime.

I agree that Bush's policies, and in particular his foreign policy, hurt this country a lot more than unjust racial preferences. But the hurt is long term and cannot be easily quantified, whereas racial preferences affect people directly now. Also, a lot of prominent Democrats more or less support Bush's foreign policies. I think we desperately need a third party.
