You make it sound so harsh!
The caption under the pic has it best: "Little Egg Harbor Township police returned to the school yesterday after employees found projectiles on the roof and inside the building."
On the bright side, maybe we've finally figured out what is keeping Iraqi teens from pulling a Colombine at Fallujah High. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that, as important as the stated goals of our War Program may be, ultimately it may be the sociological spinoffs of this controversial enterprise that best justify it's high costs.

Lame analogy
It's a lame, darkside of the moon analogy with the Space Program.
Many have seen fit to justify the Space Program to those who see it as an expensive boondoggle by pointing out how all the technological spinoffs have changed and benefited society.
I am justifying the War Program by pointing out all the sociological benefits we can expect to spin off from it at home. Think of Iraq as a micro-gravitas lab where we can be free to perfect techniques, in this case pre-emptive strafing to deter violence, until they are ready to use in our schools.

Have whatever values you have. That's what America is for. You don't need George Bush for that.
