I'm not even sure you need world consensus. I'd settle for 1/3 of the world thinking this was a smart thing to do. As it is, even if this is the right thing, we have used up a lot of political capital that will take us a long time to earn back.

But it no longer matters what I, or any of us citizens think. GW has pretty much said that he doesn't give a **** what we think - he's gonna go kick some ass.

We'll know in six months whether this was smart.
