Bob Herbert seeks social justice...? tsk, tsk, tsk...

If the war in Iraq is worth fighting - if it's a noble venture, as the hawks insist it is - then it's worth fighting with the children of the privileged classes. They should be added to the combat mix. If it's not worth their blood, then we should bring the other troops home.

If Mr. Bush's war in Iraq is worth dying for, then the children of the privileged should be doing some of the dying.

oh, bob, bob, bob... you just don't get it, do you...? the privileged and their children OWN the rest of us... we are there to do their bidding... we are there to insure that there is no constraint placed on their privilege and that they have unfettered access to however much more privilege they wish to acquire... as in the rest of their lives, the hired help mows their lawns, cleans their pools, takes care of their housekeeping, does their shopping, pays their bills, repairs all their little things that have such an annoying habit of breaking down, extends their span of global control, and creates more opportunities for them to acquire even greater wealth, often by laying down their lives... why SHOULD they burden themselves with any of those details...? they've EARNED the right to their life of ease...
