acknowledge even this simple fact.
Why do you suppose that is:
1 - it doesn't conform to their world view so it can't be so?
2 - it would mean saying George Bush was right and they'll never go there?
3 - after all the caterwauling about "We can't win!", "It costs too much!", "It's all about the oil!", and on and on, agreeing even remotely that anything is going right over there will bring up too much (more) bile?
4 - simple lack of maturity regardless of their chronological age?
5 - too many years being brought up in environments where they're never wrong (read: mommy never uttered the word "No", coaches declared that all competitors were "winners", and teachers told all students that their work was created equal)?
Feel free to offer your own suggestions.
Whatever the reason, it's remarkable that these characters expect (yes, expect, not want) to be taken seriously on such a serious matter as war.
