On topic, but not so much with the thread...

Today on the radio I heard some obscure talk show and the guy was saying WHY we are so lucky to be Americans and WHY HE was supporting the war. NOT for Bush to get elected, but for a win in Iraq that would (hopefully) turn other dictated countries around WITHOUT a war. If the war is successful, MAYBE Bush will win, but the bigger picture would be freedom spreading without violence and of course, a return to our own individual freedoms.

It is the youth of Iraq-the teens and young adults-that he sees accepting more western culture influence-forgiving us for the crass culture of the Brittany Spears and Janet Jacksons-the crude videos...but embracing the freedom our own youths' of America's experience. They see what we have and perhaps, their desire to have the same independence will aid in our quest for world peace. These are unpopular things to depicted on TV.
