As long as Bush has at least majority support for this war, it will continue. I'm not sure what your point is. I haven't been following other discussions on this. Are there people suggesting that this war might stop. I don't think there's a snowball's chance of that. Even if the numbers really dropped. And part of that will translate to support for ending the war by ending Saddam. Laz, that sounds like pique rather than logic to me. You're not going to get the number any higher than it is now. All but the hard core pacifists and certifiable nutters are on the "support the troops" side already. The protests are irrelevant. Be glad you live in a country where protest is possible. If you can't do that, then just ignore them. Somehow I think your answer would be different if you were in the way of bullet fired because the war was still on because Saddam was hoping the protestors here would destroy the resolve of the administration. I understand that reaction. I just saw an interview of a soldier who felt that way. If you're heading for the front, seems normal to me. Presumably, when he gets there, he'll have more pressing things to focus on. Should they? Absolutely not. I'm not disagreeing with you. Go argue this one with someone else. It should illustrate to them a grievous and dangerous failure of their methods. That's not logical. The only failure illustrated would be that that their methods, the inspections, didn't find the weapons. It doesn't speak to the question of whether Saddam would have used them proactively. His having them is of minor consequence as long as he doesn't use them proactively, which he hasn't under "their methods." IMO, there was no reason to expect that he would have. Of course, if he's "invaded," that's another matter, not relevant to the UN "methods."
