A nice tidbit from Dave Winer, a strong left wing political bent and deeply suspicious of the war until around the time of Colin Powell's presentation. Going to war Of course all this is a distraction. The US is going to war. Compared to that it's not a big deal that I'm moving and driving across the country or trying out other search engines. There are Americans, lots of them, in the Middle East, and on their way there -- whose lives are in jeopardy. Our European allies say we don't need to go to war. But what do they say to the families whose kids are going there to die? They say that they love the American people but hate our government. They don't understand the US. Read the Constitution. Check out the first three words. It's our government. You can't like us and not like our government, and vice versa. I'm a reasonable person, and I vote. I want to understand the European point of view. Tell me what you'd do here. You've drawn a line. You've said that Saddam must disarm or be disarmed. You did say that, there was a UN Security Council resolution, the vote was unanimous, not vetoed by France, Russia or China. Okay he didn't disarm. Now what?
