Just checking in again after my trip to CA and catching up... bit confused by your message... Just sent this message to a couple of friends in Australia: "Hi Kali and Tim At this point I am a bit ambivalent about the war. Bush showed his real intentions when his ultimatum was not for Iraq to disarm but for Saddam to resign. It seems driven in the end by the weather timetable. In the short-term everyone is the loser from this game, though Saddam may have some satisfaction of screwing up the Western Alliance and making the US look bad. If the war is quick the Iraqi people will be the real winner. Whether the US turns out to be a real winner, I think time will only tell. Maybe it can regain some of its lost goodwill etc. UK has remained the US's biggest ally in this despite ministerial resignations there, and Israel is not on the Pacific either but is only the silent partner. Was wondering what public opinion in India is now on the upcoming war. There is a feeling among many people here that the US government is out of control on many fronts. A swift victory might make them even more arrogant unfortunately. So far though, I don't see a credible Democratic alternative. David"
