Several reviewers seem to miss the point in this very good story. It is not about 'political crisis' or 'smoke and mirrors'. That kind of redirection by reviewers is dishonest. This is news because it points out with good data that the real war is indeed in the living rooms of America. That fact is constantly overlooked by those willing to see only our mistakes and willing to believe that if we just came home, all would be well. All will not be well folks if we just fold our tents. "were our country to suffer that level...'Please do not seek moral equivalence with those who target you first. Bottom line, this is an important and well sourced story.
