Don't you get it? Yes, the WMD mission was a line to hook the majority of americans into supporting the war- it worked. Now patriotism and the threat of terrorism keeps us there. Its working. The hawks learned an important lesson from Vietnam- quagmires are only troublesome if the media & popular movements gain traction against them. Conservatives learned how to emasculate both. Unless one of us geniuses figures out a way to restore democracy in the US, i.e. releasing the majority of americans from the binds of so-called patriotism & see that the a real terroist threat is (ALSO) wrapped in the US flag (remember the unibomber, anyone?) this is all academic. Those of us who oppose the war keep appealing to logic and facts, and the pro-war folks come back with emotion and slander. We are not playing the same game, so nobody will loose or win. The distraction of our flapping jaws prevents us from fixing the real problem- those of us opposed to the war & calling for RATIONALITY and and end to carnage have NO POWER. Even the members of congress are powerless to change our current course. Sen. Kennedy can sit in the senate armed forces committee and recite a litany of Rumsfelds' failures on CSPAN for all of America to hear- and it doesn't matter. Those in power are not afraid AT ALL. Even the Downing Street papers do not concern them- they don't even merit a cover-up. The administration is ignoring them because they know they have nothing to be afraid of. In spite of everything, Bush won re-election - some cooked up majority of americans did vote for him. Based on where we stand now, the conservatives can invade Iran if they want to - there is nothing to stop them. The can ignore genocide in Darfur if they choose too- they do not fear public opinion and care less about doing the right thing- even for appearances. Watch and weep- thats all thats left for us to do. Unless the administration's achilles heal is it's hubris & overconfidence. Isn't that how bad guys usually fail in the end Hey y’all-
