I don't think this Millenial generation, so clean cut and ready to go along (go on a college campus sometime - geez; Andy Williams in a sweater, without the draft (and maybe with it) will stop this war. They are the GIs, our Boomers' parents, and have high personal expectations, but are not rebellious (well, duh. Now the kids in elementary school are yet another generation, like the Silent generation that followed the GIs (after 1928; before 1944), they follow the Millenials. Our generation is John Brown, Abe Lincoln, Jefferson Davis; we are also FDR and George Marshall, and now Bill Clinton and (shudder) George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove. As it has always been for this generational sequence, it will be a battle between Good and Evil, with other generations paying the price. It will ultimately be the cynical Xers who will pick up the pieces, and be the center that holds. It has always been thus, throughout the cycles of American history.
