The Great Divide: A Candid Look at Differing Views of National Security

Abstract

Here it is, another Sunday morning, and I just finished reading yet more stories regarding the atrocities in Kosovo. I am watching as the morning talk show pundits continue to vehemently argue the pros and cons of U.S. involvement and greater American combative presence. Most of the debates are well thought out and generally based in fact, if you take the time to read or listen to them. But you've undoubtedly heard the sound bites - the vast majority of Americans can't even find Yugoslavia on a world map! Do you really think John Q. Public is taking the time to read the plethora of stories on the subject? Is the average American tuning in to the talking heads on the late night news shows? Probably not, I must just be strange to be so interested.
