Reply #2: It won't stop.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

I was in college in the late '60s and I remember all that stuff very clearly, and how intense and bitter the controversy had become. It won't end until we're all dead, just like the Civil War wasn't "over" until the last vet of that war died (some say it's still going on). The sad thing is that in 35 years our grandchildren will still be arguing about the Iraq war, which is fast becoming as controversial as Vietnam. And there might be another memorial with a yet-unknown number of names engraved on it, and a decorated Iraq vet who speaks out against this war will run for President, and the vile ideological spawn of Lee Atwater and KKKarl Rove will claim he didn't deserve his decorations.

People suck.
