With regard to your last paragraph. I agree that something is wrong with our country, but I don't believe that it is only the government pulling us in a direction -- I think Americans themselves are at least partially to blame. We've lost our national identity. We don't know who we want to be.

We think we should be fighting a war on terror, but we cannot tolerate large losses of our troops or collateral damage. We worry about the effect that long deployments have on our troops morale.
We said we would seek out those who were behind 9/11, but when Pakistan resisted the idea of us going after Al Kayda in their country, we backed off.
We knew there wasn't Al Kayda in Iraq, yet we allowed our politicians to distract us, and start a war that had nothing to do with 9/11.
We worry about Iran's nuclear weapons and believe that Iran is a destabilizing force in the Middle East, yet we can't bear the thought dead Iranian civilians should we do anything to prevent it.
We hate that jobs have gone offshore, but we continue to deal with companies that have moved jobs offshore and we continue to buy things made in China.

We can't put it back on just the politicians. We're not as morally tough as we used to be.
