Went tonight to a party in Manhattan. Had conversations with some friends – all highly educated and intelligent people. Here we are, in an apartment maybe half a mile away from what used to be the WTC and is now a mass grave to thousands of our people, and almost everyone speaks... against the war. They don't talk about what has to be done to prevent such tragedies in the future... they prefer to give legalistic arguments against attacking an "independent country" - Iraq. It would, you see, create the wrong precedent. Others, surprisingly unthinkingly, just repeat the remarkably meaningless argument that the war is "about oil".

In the meantime, the "jury of our peers" – the majority of the US population – firmly believes that the regime in Iraq is too dangerous. Why do they refuse to give up their WMD's? Who is threatening them? Who are they likely to use those weapons against?

Think poker: If you look around the table and do not see the mark, guess who it is...
