I don't see Burns arguing that Iraqis are "solidly" in favor of the invasion. Certainly he interviewed folk who were. Yes, I saw that and posted it because of that. Keep gathering evidence of what's happening. I expect flowers in the streets either legitimately or illegitimately. The Bush folk simply have too much at stake for that not to happen. It's several months down the road that will be the actual point we can tell. Check the WSJ article I posted to Bill. It's got some interesting historical lessons about attempts to implant "Western values" as they say, by force.

Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "As far as I can see, there are only four populations with solid majority support for this war: Americans, Kuwaitis, Iranians and Iraqis. Interesting, the implications of that." It turns out that you were wrong. (I'm assuming that "Iranians" is a typo for "Israelis".) What you should have written was this: "As far as I can see, there are only four populations with solid majority support for this war: Americans, Kuwaitis, Israelis and [what Americans, Kuwaitis, Israelis wish were true about] Iraqis." -- Carl
