I don't think there has ever been a time in US history since the Civil War where American people have been so divided and resentful of their own country. Obviously I wasn't around for the Vietnam situation but , although not now, at some future point I could see our country dividing and in essence experiencing civil war. We're already experiencing this on the political level.
Of course maybe as I’m coming of age where I can see and understand the political undercurrents that happen behind everything I am really just witnessing what has happened for years.
Mankind is at odds with itself. What are we fighting? Do people really care about what happens to the Iraqi people. Do they really care about war? If the people who are so outspoken about the war cared as much for the people who are being effected by the war as they are with the war itself then shouldn’t we see them actually doing something for those who are suffering from the long arm of conflict in the middle east. I have yet to see any real action (other than protesting and yelling) being taken by those who are the most vocal about the atrocities of this war in Iraq. Huh, sounds like the Christian culture.
