Ted, if you mean surrender to the Russians, that is patently absurd. How did you arrive at that conclusion? I lived through the 80s That attitude is typical of the past few months; typical of the kind of treatment given to those who have opposed Mr. Bush's agenda in its current format. I think there is a difference. There is a hard core group, that shows up at these demonstrations, and these are the ones I am talking about. This 1 or 2% of tha hardcore peaceniks have always been there and will always be there, and when these characters cheer, it doesn't really mean all that much. As far as the size of the opposition, one only needs to consider the narrow margin Bush Sr. got for Iraq 1, the strong isolationist movement in the US during the WWII, the fact that Neville Chamberlain led the clear majority of Brits all the way to the brink. BTW, compared to those, the opposition to Bush seems to still come from fringes, and if anything is questioned, it is not the goal, but the timing and tactics. Joe
