Then, bring the war to us.

[Jack Sprat]

Our society is not a nation of hand-wringing cowards. Sure, we have some chicken-pluckers here and there, but their main fear is a loss of income more than loss of life and limb. How can you take a nation to war with over half the population opposed to it and expect any sense of unity?

Shrub sends young teens just out of high school to pay the ultimate price, although he did not when his opportunity was there.

If our nation is so fragile that we cannot protect ourselves from anarchists and terrorists, then we lack the resolve of a determined, free people. This president and his pathetic followers are literally cowards. If our nation has a problem with our borders and security, then it needs to be dealt with here. My own conscience tells me that our young soldiers need to come home for a much needed rest, and we, the people, should eagerly await the terrorists who "follow them here" (BushCo talking point) so that we can justifiably unite to remove them from this earth.

Mr President, if you are afraid to fight terror, then let our citizens fight them HERE on our turf. Lord knows we are armed enough.
