Buy war bonds!

The president's asked for more money for the war in Iraq. Congressional Democrats have vowed a showdown over the cash. The war is probably the most divisive issue in American politics today.

I've got a thought - let the people who support the war pay for it. War bonds worked 60 years ago to finance military action. Heck, it'd cut out the taxation middleman.

But that'd require sacrifice, something no one's asking Americans to do. Heck, Atlanta can't even bring itself to take up serious water restrictions.

So, Herald bloggers - would you buy a bond to support the undeclared War on Terror?
