I feel so helpless to do anything that will make a difference, or motivate more people to care about what is going on over there. It feels like everyone is either completely apathetic or just so distracted by their daily life that they can't be bothered. At least with Vietnam, Americans were much more vocal about resisting it. Is the difference now because of the lack of the draft? Is the attitude "well, I won't be drafted, so I don't have to worry about this"? Everyone knows that this war is wrong. Everyone knows that we were lied to and 'scared' into allowing it.
No one can see the end of it or succinctly state what our goal is and why it changes every two seconds...from find and dismantle WMDs...there were none...to "we meant 'remove Saddam'" (mission accomplished!)...to "we meant 'establish democracy'"...to "we meant 'fight terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here.'"...which incidentally, was not a problem we had with Iraq in the first place on March 19, 2003.
