On "The Larry King Show", Jenna Bush was asked about her opinion on the war in Iraq. She responded that it is a very complicated situation and she doesn't feel qualified to talk about it. She gave the impression that she really doesn't know what's going on there.

She is a college graduate who has written a book. Her father is president of the United States. He engineered this war. He was the president on 9/11/01 and used this tragedy to convince the Congress, Senate and the American people that this war was necessary. Where has Jenna been? What were the dinner conversations like in the White House? Didn't George Bush converse with his children about the issues of the day? Did they ever question him about his job and his role as president? Is she really ignorant about the war or does she disagree with her father and she can't disclose that?

I find it hard to believe that she can appear on a national talk show and admit ignorance about a war that is claiming the lives of her contemporaries. If she had been born to another family in Texas she could very well be wearing a soldier's uniform and she could be stationed in Iraq. In this scenario, she would not be so quick to admit ignorance.

Is Jenna really serious? Did the men and women serving twenty-hour shifts in Baghdad hear what she said? Did the parents who have buried their sons and daughters after their flag-draped coffins came home hear what she said? I would bet that they did or will soon hear about it.

Did her former sorority sisters hear what she said? Did the young women who had their coming out balls with her hear what she said. Did her friends at the country club hear about it? I suspect they didn't notice.

So what is the truth? Is Jenna being honest in her response or was she protecting her father? I thought as I watched that I caught a glimpse of pain in her eyes. I thought I saw a shadow cross her face. Maybe I want to believe that she is just protecting Daddy. I want to believe she is not so ignorant. Because if she is, then her contemporaries may be as well. The rich college kids and the recent graduates who are fulfilling their passions don't really know what is going on in Iraq. They are not being educated. They don't see the flag-draped coffins land on American soil. They only know about Paris and Brittany and O.J. They know the latest trends in fashion and where to find the latest hot designer bag. And unfortunately, they are not the only ones who don't know. Jenna's dad doesn't want many of us to see the truth. The news is controlled so that we don't see the reality. And I really find it hard to believe that Jenna doesn't know this. Her father is president of the United States.
