Raymond, here's a piece by Michael Rivero which I think you might agree with ....

whatreallyhappened.com

.... except for this:

>>> ....the American people, impoverished by the war, bereft of their children by the war, are starting to wake up from their long denial. They will be angry. They will want to know who is to blame for this disaster. They will want the hides of the men who lied us into this war for the benefit of a foreign power (as 9-11 Commission head Philip Zelikow admitted recently in a public speech) tanned and nailed to the barn door. They will want the hides of the media executives who whored themselves to the war machine, who clearly thought the sacrifice of other people’s children a small price to pay for higher ratings and increased FCC cooperation.

The American people are slow to anger, but once roused, can be a giant filled with a terrible resolve. I cannot imagine any self-respecting people continuing to obey a government that lied the nation into a war that impoverished the people, trashed the economy, killed our kids, and left the survivors and everyone they come in contact with chronically ill for the rest of their lives, all for the benefit of a foreign power.<<<

As I see it, those who are opposed to the war are by far in the minority and the majority just want to "kick arse" by escalating the conflict --- even if it means using nucular (as per GWB) weapons. And if not now, then definitely after the next "terrorist" attack.
