Those who were raised in the Cold War -- those who were handed, that is, the pieties and certainties of that war and did not have to learn or think for themselves overmuch -- have demonstrated their limits in the present conflict. However well-spoken they (the Bush Administration) may be, they have been raised in an environment where completely independent thought simply is hard to find.
What should be the single and unswerving goal by the Americans and its remaining allies and others that might be allies yet again: to defend ourselves by weakening the Camp of Islam and Jihad, and to do that by dividing and demoralizing that camp, playing upon the pre-existing divisions, the three main ones being sectarian (Sunni and Shi'a), ethnic (Arab and non-Arab) and economic (the Muslims with vast unmerited wealth, and the Muslims who have no oil or gas deposits).

i agree...i think many of the baby boomer generation and their kids were cuddled too much and forgot about the reality of the world around us...the WW2 generation were a great generation...wars have never stopped in the world of the history and to believe that they can or will is just plain naive...we fight for survival of our culture now against the imperialists Muslims...who say they come in peace like they have in Europe and then demand Europe change to accept them...that it is not Muslims fault for not integrating it is Europe's fault for not being tolerant enough...if you believe that crap trying to be an openly practicing Christian in the middle east...see how well Muslims tolerate that in their country...

I'm not sure what you are pointing to...is it the old people who were raised during the cold war and who do not think much of the present Iraq war?... The American/Allies goal is to finish the war in Iraq as soon as a reliable, strong Iraqi government can handle and has a good gripped on the chaos made by the existing conflicts due to the sectarian violence, ethnic complicity and the oil propagation.

First part makes sense, the second part is ridiculous. However, I think the Bush administration might be attempting the second part anyway, even though it's just wrong. And you know, NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE EVIL! So many people here are so f-ing xenophobic it's ridiculous! It's pretty obvious that we as Americans don't think for ourselves because we all believe that Muslims are evil and it's America against the world because we're right and everyone else is just wrong.

There's a bit of truth in your first paragraph (I didn't understand the 2nd one...my bad).
The Cold War generation is definitely problematic...they want to to believe everything the government tells them and they were easily led to replace the Cold War with the War on Terrorism. They have been conditioned since childhood to be afraid...
So that's why the US spends more on the military than any other nation on earth. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic...

No. I don't agree with your statement regarding the war in Iraq.
