Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.

Hi pdowd,

I agree.

Especially since 9-11, many Americans are on high alert & want a president that will 'protect & defend'.

IMO, many in power are too hawkish & misuse & twist info. Many live off the buildup of the military.
There's a lot of money in 'defense'.
