This paragraph made sense to me. I'm not so young that I don't know how Americans and Canadians changed their ways of life to support the war effort during WWII. I don't see any of this happening in the USA right now.
I think the rest of the world right now has just put Bush on "ignore" and are patiently awaiting November 2008, hoping that the American people will finally notice how fucked up their administration has been for the past 8 years and do something about it.
