"Several reporters noted that a great many demonstrators in both European cities and the US considered doing something about Saddam a worthy end; just didn't trust the way the Bush folk were going about it."

John,
And if the war happens and it goes well, these folks will forget they demonstrated in the first place. Thats how we might get back to that 80% support number. What motivated many demonstrators is the fear of the war's possible negative consequences and this iraq thing has been going on long enough for folks to think of all the bad things that could go wrong. I dont blame them at all. I am a hawk but all nerved up too. But if it all works out, Bush ratings will soar. And if the economy continues to sputter, Bush ratings will plummet. Fickle, Fickle voters and thats really a good thing. mike
