Finally, a call for sacrifice

President Bush loves to say that we are a nation at war. At every opportunity he mentions this to remind people that he's tough and to justify his misguided policies. But he's never asked any of us to sacrifice for the war in Iraq or anything else. After five years of running up the national credit card bill, giving us tax cuts, prescription drug benefits, and a war we cannot afford, Bush has finally asked us to do something for the good of our country.

Too bad President Bush is not following his own advice.
