Why are you apologizing? You didn't owe me solid information. :P I read your journal because I like reading your point of view, not because I demand fair and balanced perspective. :P
I won't re-post, and I did take the original post with a grain of salt - you come right out and say that your generation has only ever known this war and that you're probably cynical in your speculation. In general situations don't turn out as dire as we fear they will. You're looking at trends and seeing where inertia would lead them, but you acknowledge that there are mitigating factors that can cause them to alter direction in ways you can't predict.
So if you're worried you did your country or this situation a disservice by writing out your perspective, you didn't, and I hope I didn't make you feel like you have to go out of your way to provide me with accurate info. I appreciate the links and I'll check them out. :)
