i totally agree with you too mutt.
i was watching Newt Gingrich on Hard Talk on BBC a couple weeks ago and he made a good point (whether people like him or not) that "popular opinion" has almost never been right when it comes to armed conflicts and war. I think that Bush, Blair and others are doing the right thing to not be deterred by morons in the streets attacking police officers claiming they want peace.
these people protesting weren't too concerned when it was just people getting boiled in acid and babies getting their eyes cut out with a knife so the mother would talk. they weren't really concerned about 13.5% infant mortality rates for children under 5 in Iraq... not concerned about entire towns getting gassed leaving the streets littered with the dead bodies of babies, children, mothers, fathers etc.
when it comes to finally getting off our stupid and pathetic asses and doing something about it... we have to stop it immediately.
its a sort of short sighted insanity that completely boggles the mind.
people dont give a fuck until its too late... and THEN when its too late... they only care that you dont do anything about it.
