text: do people have a right to complain about war when they've never been personally affected by one? not supporting war, but this issue seems too complicated to be one-sided. everyone that lives in a country that is at war is affected by it.  it changes the economy. it changes local security measures. there are so many ways that war affects us on an everyday basis that we never even think about.  before 9&#92;11 if you saw a man of middle eastern heritage. sitting on a suitcase in front of the church he was waiting for a taxi.  now he is a terrorist trying to kill us all  it is sad, but it is the state of war.  every country and land has been affected by war at some point.  and some are affected for years after the war..  would you want to live in hiroshima today. they still have cancer cases related to radiation poisoning.
