Will we watch this deteriorate in to all out war? Will we fuel it or will we work to quell?

What defines us as civilized? What binds us as human?

I have no illusions about the mystical powers of capitalism's democracy. Spending does not constitute engagement. "Our" wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are choices we made, lives we elected to spend. We are still unclear as to what our lives are buying. "Ask not what your country can do TO you..."

Who are we...?
