Imagine for a moment that you could take all the spin off the Iraq conflict from the main stream media, the administration, the pundits, etc. And think about the money spent on the current military, the loss of lives from the war, the weapons of mass destruction that never were...Colin Powell is extremely embarassed about that now.
Just consider the undisputable facts. Have you noticed the intensity at which the American public is speaking out against the war? It's not the radical militants demonstrating and raising hell like we did in the sixties, where we all knew each other or had similar lifestyles and beliefs. Now, it's a mixed bag. It's your neighbors, your grandmother, and your priest peacefully demonstrating and they're mad as hell.
As long as I've spoken out against war and marched and been cuffed and maced in the name of peace, I can tell you that this is an unprecedented and different vibe against the war. It's already more unpopular than Vietnam ever was. If the Iraq war continues much longer, I fully expect to see everybody in the street.
