America the Confused

Witness the automobiles bearing the red, white and blue ribbon sticker with the text that reads "Bring Our Troops Home Safely." On the same vehicle is a sticker that reads "Re-elect Bush-Cheney." Imagine, if you will, an automobile negotiating the streets of 1945 Germany with a sticker that reads "Stop Persecuting Jews," and another sticker that reads "Support Adolph Hitler." Flip a coin, people. Straddling a fence like that can only lead to sore balls. If a leader sends hundreds of thousands of young men and women, and middle-aged men and women, into an armed conflict without cause, and brings most of them home alive and in possession of their body parts, is he a hero? When did we start revering the arsonist who fights his own fires?
