Nash, I don't know whether you can edit thread titles, but you might want to try. I'd hate to see you banned over something as useless as that. We've already lost several personalities, and it'd be a shame if this BBS were to become wholly one-sided. It's pretty clear you feel pretty strongly on this matter. Granted you can't do much good over an internet BBS, but you won't help anything if you get yourself muzzled.
I think the problem with the POW aspect is no war has been declared (that's something I'm sore about). The 'enemy combatants' seem as though they're in a sort of legal limbo, and perhaps that's not a great direction for the US to take things. We've done worse in the past, but normally we should seek to improve past mistakes, not repeat them.
The "it can't happen here" attitude, the "I've got mine so who cares about anyone who doesn't" attitude.....that stuff is endemic to the baby boomer generation. I think we're stuck with it until they finally die off in another few decades. Hopefully by then this country isn't so messed up that it can't be fixed.
