And for the first time in Post-ABC News surveys, about half of all Americans say the United States should take military action even without the endorsement of the United Nations. These numbers strike me as the important ones. I don't know what levels of these numbers are acceptable to the Bush folk but whatever levels exist in the immediate time preceding the invasion, those numbers will effect the debate afterwards, once either difficulties with the invasion occur (not small ones), should they do so. Or once it's clear that a long term occupation is in place. It's also important to figure out just how deep/shallow that support goes. Supporters say deep; critics say shallow. I tend to think the latter is more true than the former because of their volatility. But who knows. It's clearly, as you like to say, one of those things about which TWT.
