Could be TM, but I have seen that same mindset in person..Bob, a friend of mine has a sister-in-law that "hates Bush" (can't really articulate why)..and is going to vote for Obama..because she has kids of military age and Obama "won't go to war". Bob can't convince her that the best way to invite war is to have a weak leader with a weak, simpering foreign policy (ask historians about Neville Chamberlain) and Churchill warned them all along..just as folks are now warning about Obama.
Obama has already said if draft becomes necessary, women should be drafted alongside men...hmmm
Consider..in 1992 when the twin towers was hit the first time, there was little or no retaliation...so we were hit with Khobar towers , Various embassies, the USS Cole and other attacks until 2000. In 2001 the terrorists "tried' the new prez and got their tails whipped for their trouble...no more attacks to this day...
Of course, Obama if elected may choose not to retaliate if our cities are bombed, gassed or attacked by nuclear or biological devices..but I doubt Bob's sister-in-law would be any more pleased..and suppose he does as he said in his book..stick with the Musklims..
