A Political philosophy test!

I believe I have discovered a simple but effective measurement test of a person's political philosophy, either that or a test of a person's ability to be duped.  I watched a segment on the MSM today (?today show) which caused strong feelings in me personally, but I am wondering if the feelings I felt watching this segment were the same as what many others, especially conservatives suporting GWB, were feeling?  

The segment in question simply said that the graduates at West Point this years, who BTW I believe will have GWB (our fearless leader) as their commencement speaker, were the first graduates since Vietnam to have the US at war during their enitre tenure at West Point.  

How does that statement were the first graduates since Vietnam to have the US at war during their entire tenure at West Point.  
make you feel????  That is the simple test!

The climate of fear that allows a hammer noise to be construed as gunfire in the nations capitol and to shut the place down has this country thinking and reacting ass-backwards or so some of us would believe.  I guess others truly believe we are at war, but is a war of your own doing (and in this case based on fales premises) worthy of a patriotic blind acceptance compared to a true war of self defense??  How long can a supposed wag-the-dog scenario be perpetuated and accepted by so many or is that not what is happening??  Well again, that is the test's purpose now isn't it!
