ON this Fourth of July, President Bush compared the Iraq war to the Revolutionary War and called for “more patience, more courage & more sacrifice.” Unfortunately, it seems that nobody asked the obvious question: 
“What sacrifices have you and your friends made, Mr. President?” In Bush’s world, only little people make sacrifices. The Iraq war, although Bush insists that it is part of a Global War on Terror, is not like America’s other great wars in which the wealthy shared the financial burden through higher taxes & elite too fought for their country.
This time Bush celebrated mission accomplished by cutting tax rates on dividends & capital gains, while handing out huge no-bid contracts to politically connected corporations. And in the four years since, as the insurgency claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and left thousands more grievously wounded, the children of the Republican elite have been conspicuously absent from the battlefield.
