These guys have lost the argument here and will really be pissed off when the europeans finally come onboard.

Offhand, I'd say you're getting a bit self-congratulatory here, Mike. By weight of posts, the argument was lost here a long time ago. But this particular forum, by most indications, isn't all that representative of the broader world.

Personally, I figure W will almost certainly get the war he so fervently desires. Rumsfeld is a legendary infighter, and he made up his mind on 9/11. Now that troops are being deployed in mass, the "you can't back off without losing face" line will be played more and more. This doesn't magically make it all a good thing, though. I hope it all goes well, but the idea that wars should be provoked and not avoided if possible is counterintuitive.
