[lbo-talk] Stirrings of second thoughts?

[Maria Gilmore]

The news of a group in Iraq that has publicized their intention to kill
American troops makes me bring up something I saw earlier this week on ABC
News...a story about how kids coming home in body bags is starting to pall
on some formerly gung-ho folks back home.  The soldier who starred
posthumously in the mini-drama/news story was not being mourned as a sad but
necessary sacrifice; he was being grieved by people who thought "the war was
over", who didn't really get why their friend was dead now, killed just last
week.   It was a small town in Ohio, I think, and they buried that young man
the day before he would have turned 21.

The honeymoon may be over...?
