Is the video game over?

[Mich Otter]

When the war in Iraq started, I was appalled by seeing my fellow workers cheering at the bomb blasts.
While they were cheering as if they were participating in a video game, I, (with my obviously defective thinking), was thinking about the poor workers on the midnight shift, or the poorly paid security guards, who were getting blown to smithereens just because they showed up to do their jobs for the money to pay their bills. Saddam's family and friends were safely in other countries or hanging out on their yachts.
Now, I see the polls are showing that many of those same Americans who were cheering the bomb blasts are now thinking the war is not such a great thing after all. I wish they had been a lot more thoughtful when the war started and given consideration to who the people are who are getting bombed, who are dying, and what is the truth about the circumstances that have caused this sorry state of affairs to happen.
Is the video game over? Should we start thinking about the realities of what we are doing? I know most Democrats have been thinking about these things. Isn't it well past time for the rest of America to do so also?

2. On some level they know its not a game

Thats why they wont enlist they know people get shot and killed in war time. But there reasoning cant shine through their adrenaline rush and thier baser instincts. Thats why the hate us so much because we are better than that. And you know what they say its easier to tear us down than try to bring themselves up. Why do you think they hated kerry so much he made them think. And conservatives would rather feel than think.
