So your position is that being at war trumps any and all other 
considerations?

A thinking person would interject "in which case the terrorists have 
won".

Or, more rhetorically relevant to this list...

Welcome to 1984, metaphorically that is, as described by George Orwell. 
With your kind of mentality, perpetual war will certainly follow.  
Arguably "the war on terror" is deliberately designed to be just that 
(my main doubt is whether Dubya and cronies were smart enough to 
realize it, and conceited enough to actually do it, though they 
probably did it mainly out of money-grubbing lust).  Regardless, a 
significant proportion of US sheeple (yourself clearly included) have 
fallen for it lock, stock and barrel...

By the time you all realize your collective stupidity you won't be able 
to do anything _you like_ about it as the Chinese will well and truly 
own your sorry arses.

Instead of "kill[ing] the yellow man", Springsteen's (grand-)children 
will be working for him, and probably as impossibly indentured 
labourers trying to pay off way too many years of Republican-driven 
economic excess, not least of which is this war you seem so fond of...
