Let's go to war
Once embarked, the whole atttiude of the American public will be of support, which is one great difference to that sentiment in Vietnam - that is, as long as there are tangible "positive" reports to come from the major media outlets. Which will be, given the way the media and the Pentagon are helping each other maintain their ratings.
I love this: politics by ratings: "What do you think of the war?" "Do you think the war is beneficial?" "If you were given $500, would you support the war? What about $1000?"
Meanwhile, Bush has publicly expressed his intentions to go alone in an aggressive, highly illegal war. Just for the sake of it.
I know Spanish people already leaving the US.

This is one of the biggest comedies I've seen in my life. Somehow we all knew what the outcome was going to be; we all knew Mr. Bush and his allies would go to war. Yet we kept hoping for better solutions, but once the war machine of the powerful starts working, there is nothing much we can do to stop it.
