Comments on: It Shall Be Sustained http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/4413.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

You can listen to it! It's not the original from before the war but a second performance of Benet's "Listen to the People" on NBC's Cavalcade of America by Ethel Barrymore and others. It aired in 1943 in the middle of the war and is at http://www.otrpod.com/. You have to subscribe through iTunes or another podcast client and then download the archived podcast for 2006-9-10. It is worth your effort. Great stuff! Thank you Jerry Haendiges. Other folks had the same idea for this fifth anniversary.

I am somewhat of a WWII buff, but never read this before. It does show that the problems we have now are not new, and they are not insurmountable. I am not sure that 12/07 united the US as much as we now think. I was born shortly after the War ended and was old enough then to remember that my parents and most everyone else where I lived despised FDR, discussed Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories,etc. But everyone was very pleased about their part in the war effort. That may be the big problem: President Bush is not asking us to sacrifice much to defeat the jihadis. We don't have any personal hand in winning the war and so haven't bought into it.

Why weren't divisions overcome on 9/11 as the were on 12/7?...indeed, they seem to have gotten much worse. I think one explanation lies in the role of the media, which is generally much more adversarial now than it was then. This is probably also true of the professoriate, who in any case were less inflential then than they are now.

But where is today's Benet? Is there any voice of liberalism like this? Maybe Armed Liberal. I wish there were more.
