Lee Moldaver: We were told the atom bomb meant the end of war. That didn’t work out, did it? We were told America’s always getting better, it’s always moving toward a better future. But the future is getting closer, and we can see it. Their “better future” is a cliff’s edge. And it’s coming up fast, isn’t it? These soldiers that we’re fighting abroad, their families, we have more in common with them than we do with the people here in power, the real enemy.
