>Anyway, why are YOU going to protest? You support the war, unless you've just changed your mind in the last couple of weeks...

If you haven't noticed, I've changed my mind. Once again, not because of any argument about the justness of the war, or anything like that.

It simply feels to me that the administration is being less than realistic about the aftermath of the war.

We've had the argument about the occupation and such, and I feel a decade-long or more of occupation and a lot of outside funding will be necessary and from listening to Perle, Rummy, Wolfowitz, Fleischer, etc, as well as watching the events in Afghanistan, it doesn't appear that we're willing to undertake that. I could see a Rwanda-style civil war in Iraq.

However, I hope they're all correct and I'm not.
