Two years ago, when <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4846149027172428661" rel="nofollow">this video</a> was made, "over there" meant Iraq. Nowadays, it would mean Afghanistan-Pakistan, but I don't see anywhere near the anti-war enthusiasm of the 60's-70's or the mid-2000's. Americans appear to believe that things have changed (or their economic situation is what takes precedence).Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006904787527262772noreply@blogger.com
