Dude, we're still a free people and it's okay to debate what our government's policy should be.

That's very true - but now we are debating our nation's very survival - not just a "government policy" like taxes or Social Security.

How much "debating" about fighting the Nazi's was going on in 1943?

I would be willing to bet not much.

In 1945, my husband's grandparents were in a bomb shelter in Augsburg. His grandmother was praying so loudly for the Americans to come her husband was afraid someone would turn them in. We would level entire cities, we broke the will of the people. And that was expected if we wanted to win. Now, every time we bomb an apartment building, we have some embedded reported interviewing arabs with axes to grind and showing a kid's shoe laying on the ground as if we are evil ba$tards. How dare we level an entire building when terrorists were only in one room? Is this coverage affecting how we fight the war? I am not an expert, but I think it does. I wish we were doing more, I certainly don't want us to lose.
