At the moment, that policy still looks like a lose-lose to me for the Bushies. Invade and they will run into a torrent of public opposition which will grow to levels we have not seen since the Vietnam years when the body bags start coming back.

John, do you mean to imply that an Iraq invasion will become a quagmire -- years of a stalemated war with 300+ dead American soldiers a week? Because that's what it took to make Vietnam into an unpopular war. Bodybags alone won't do it, if the war looks to be victorious.

I think there's more reason to be afraid of the peace after the war, not the war itself.
