And, then, you do agree that the morass was caused by bush–right?
And, true, my kids aren’t in Iraq or Afghanistan, but y’know, when my son turned 18, he HAD to sign up for something (for a future draft?), and I (and many friends) were and have been nervous. aND, is there such a thing as moral suffering? And, the guilt knowing your child isn’t there, but someone else’s is? The guilt of knowing that we are responsible for the utterably and horribly changed lives of innocent people? Whaddya call that? Or the fact that so much of the world looks upon us with such disdain? It’s a suffering, to me, though not as pronounced as what you might have been thinking.
