Could I get you to also add our two houses of Congress to this list?

Congress may not be any better but at least they have a couple of people like John McCain that have some idea of how to conduct a war.

You know if we threaten to drop the bomb on mecca if we are ever hit again, I think that would end the threat of terrorism against the USA.

I think you bring up an important distinction. Back then, we were attacked by a foreign invader and the country, rightly so, rallied to the call because we knew for sure what we were fighting for. We had a very clear idea of the enemy and what we had to do.

Fast forward to today...We are the invaders of another country. We trumped up the justifications for the invasion that have since been proven false. And we are occupying another country years after we took it over. This is on top of the last unpopular war we fought in the 60's that was also escalated after a trumped up incident in the Gulf of Tonkin by the Johnson Administration.

So is it any wonder that people are more skeptical about wars these days? If you're not more skeptical, then you are not using your head. Comparing what we are experiencing today with what we went through during WWII is just a fool’s paradise. The people that were beaten, spit on, arrested, spied on, harassed, and demonized for protesting the Viet Nam war were right and within their rights to do so.

We currently have one of the most secretive administrations in our history and they are asking us to trust them. I'm all for rallying behind the fight on "terrorism" but I'd like to believe and trust the leaders in charge of that fight to - A. Be competent, B. Be truthful, and C. Don't undermine the troops doing their jobs by micro-managing the war from the White House.

Thanks, I couldn't have said it better myself. I knew there was a reason I liked this guy.
