Replying to The War- A Theory on Delusion

Prepare for a sketchy read- I'm formulating this theory as I go. If it comes out well, none of you'd better go tell your friends how smart you are with my idea, because it's my damned idea.

Pretexts:
1.) The entirety of the country unified and felt unified during world war 2.
2.) The country was in a state of uselessness during the 90s. Although an ostensibly prosperous era, the morale of the masses was corrupted by a blind pursuit of economic success. In short; people were bored.

Ok, here we go:

The boomer generation had their pearl harbor. We have our 9/11. Both incidences were enough to catylize a unifying movement within the country.

Because war gives the country a sense of purpose, we're going to war. There is no war we can't win with our military might except a nuclear one, so there is no real danger for invading iraq. Yet we still feel a sense of duty to avenge the 9/11 incidences.

This is tough to explain... I'm trying to set up paralells between the boomer generation and our own generation... I'll clarify in a bit.
