Where are you comming from?
You go on to say; "Issues of war are pretty much NEVER decided by popular opinion. If they were, our involvement in Viet Nam would have ended years earlier than it did."
Well you are right about the Nam thing; but that was over 35 years ago, and now all the Senators did have an opportunity to "vote" and somewhat influence what direction our president and our country was heading in. Why do you suppose they didn't vote in the other direction?
Do you think that they had heard a "massive objection" from their people or party's side? If not, whose fault do you think that may have been? Was that also "President Bush's" fault too?
I guess I will resort back to my "primitive way of thinking"; how much blood does the hunter (in this case President Bush) really need to follow his game (Saddam)"? Is one drop (missing deadly viruses), two drops (missing poisonous nerve gases) or is it that dead carcass (nuclear bomb) laying in the trail that you are looking for? When is the "blood trail" enough?
How's that for low "blood pressure"
Whatever happens in the end game, our people will not have done it in vain this time! They may not know "all the answers" but they known enough to put their life behind our president!
If "America's best" didn't believe that he was right, wouldn't they ("America's best") not be coming to his calling now? These are all educated good smart people, and to insinuate that may be wasting their life's for nothing …
Enough said!
