I have this feeling of missing connections.

There exists a middle ground where you can understand the reasons given why something was done but not agree with them, where you aren't rabidly anti-war, just not in agreement with the conditions and timing of this one. Where the warnings and prophecies gave enough pause to not want to start something without more thought and preparation. There was no discussion-- and preemptive war deserved more thought, imo.

BOth sides have now morphed a great deal in what they say they expected or intended. Emphases have changed. There was a lot of innuendo and word choice imageries that influenced us before this war. It was an accumulated, almost subliminal persuading. Had everything worked out ideally, perhaps no one would be resentful of what they now perceive as manipulation. Dunno.

For me, the discussion of why and when, the WMDs, all the blamethrowing and defensive posturing should be put aside-- it has gotten so repetitive and ugly-- and the immediate problem of where we are heading dealt with more openly. Doubts and questions about our timeframe and resources are growing. Bush needs a comprehensible, convincing response to these questions to keep us from making (another, imo) too precipitous move.
