Right, which is what brought me into brining up the troubling realities of how our current political climate comes into play.  We are looking at a possible war behind a president who is, in the eyes of many, less favorable than the leader of the country we are going to have to oppose.  We are going to defend the democracy of Ukraine from a leader that a significant percentage of our own population find preferable to our current leader, and during a time when a significant portion of our population refuses to believe that he was fairly elected over our past unfavorable president who is the current front-runner to be back in power in a few years and has expressed distal and proximal praise for the "enemy leader."

Even people who didn't like Bush, or Obama, or Bush, LBJ, or FDR probably weren't likely to hold them in lower regard than Osama Bin Laden, Sadaam Hussein, Mussolini and so on and so forth.  This is the first conflict I can think of where we enter into it with a powerful propaganda cycle running 24/7 that isn't afraid to say that "our guy is worse and weaker than their guy."

Isn't this odd?
