When will young Americans get angry about the war?

Young people are tired of hearing about Iraq, and they gave up getting angry about its steep death toll and mounting costs a long time ago. There is indeed an unsettling absence of anger here in Middletown, Del., at least within the hallways of St. Andrew’s, the small boarding school I attend. Instead of fretting about the war, upperclassmen worry about this year’s record-low acceptance rates at Harvard and whether we’ll get custom T-shirts for the junior prom. Sad as all this is, it’s tough to blame anybody my age for this indifference. Why should we worry when we have no personal stake in the conflict?
