I'm 30 years older than you, so "The War" to me means, as a reflex, Vietnam. Then there's the next generation, for whom it means "Gulf War." And for your generation, "After 9/11." And yet for each one, this same argument endures. It's for oil and empire. No, it's our Christian duty. We have to kill those Commies/Muslims. Mao/Saddam is the Devil, the Antichrist. You say it very well -- America is a theocracy, and theocracy is a dream. Thank you for this essay.
