In a letter published in this edition, Vince Bogdan outlines a variety of ideas regarding guns, etc. In doing so, he illustrates the danger of taking an issue and then making grossly overdrawn declarations about it. The fine art of lying: A layman's guide The phone rang on Monday and the caller ID screen said "Unknown Caller, Unknown Number," which suggests that somebody with a headset in a cubicle wants to know if I would like to send them some money, but I picked up anyway and it was a woman reporter in Australia wanting to know how Americans observe the Fourth of July. This happens if you have eyebrows as big as mine and are able to furrow them -- foreign writers will take you for an authority on American culture. When the public loses faith in a war Unpopular wars aren't born, they're made. They spring from the government's womb popular and inspiring. As time goes on the public learns more about the war's origins and disillusionment sets in, but that's not enough to sour the public, and politicians don't respond until long after the public sours.
