I do engage them in conversation about it, Steve...all three have friends in the military or signed up to go in the near future. All three have different views.

One is totally against our involvement but realizes someone needed to go in, one feels we need to stay as long as it takes but is frustrated by slow progress by the Iraqi government, and one feels we ought to simply take over the damn place simply because there are too many competing factions.

All three see terrorism as a fact of life in their futures.

I guess it's not unlike those of us who grew up during the Cold War...it's just there.

Never asked...do you have kids?
