| 2. Sure punish the children for the sins of their parents. |

That sure sounds like justice.
As much as I'm disgusted with the chickenhawks, I think we need to judge their children on the childrens' own strengths and weaknesses.

| 3. Anyone here see "A Clean Escape" on Masters of Science Fiction? |
|
It is a cautionary tale about what happens when a President orders a pre-emptive strike. I would urge folks to check it out--made my blood run cold.

...their children are people in their own right, and if they disagree with their parents about the war, why should they have to go?
Send the chickenhawks themselves!
