So he and Bush have put all of us in a position of either supporting a war we don't believe in, or helping our nation's enemy as we go to war.


Blair is in trouble, but he can survive a short, successful, War. He had a majority of the Conservatives who will vote with him to keep him in power.

What you and the rest of the anti-war group here refuse to face is that a majority of Americans are with Bush in this war. I am sure Raines hated to make it the lead story in the "New York Times" today, but the latest polls show that a majority of Americans are just as fed up with the UN as Bush is.
