13. Even if it's true
so what?

He bemoans the people that don't take this war seriously. He can look right to the White House for the reason. Why should the American people take this war seriously when so little attempt has been made to apprehend bin Laden? Why should we take this war seriously when we all know that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? Why should we take this war seriously when this administration poorly planned and executed it? Why should we take this war seriously when none of us have been asked to sacrifice anything except for our civil liberties? Where is the gas rationing? Where is the push to rid ourselves of dependency on foreign oil? We hear about the tax cuts and the Federal Marriage Amendment more than we hear about the sacrifices we all should be forced to make if this war were as serious as the author believes it to be.

And on his closing point I fail to understand how we are making any friends in the fighting of this war.
