word of the day and other thoughts

the word Bildungsroman (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildungsroman)

a novel that follows the protagonist from child to man/woman

----------

so i recently watched why we fight, a documentary by Eugene Jarecki so i did some searching for articles and such on the topic of military industrial complex, eisenhower, the war machine which led me to the book...

Why we fight: moral clarity and the war on terrorism by William Bennett

...which supports the post 9/11 war efforts and puts down those that opposed a violent response (this i gathered from a review i read about the book)...note that this was written in 2002 so i'm going to see if William Bennett has done anything more recently on the issue of 9/11 and iraq
