They don't support being in Iraq, yet we're there.

I don't think the opposition is overwhelming. It would be if there were a draft.

Definitely not. Look around. Many people are upset, but for the most part you don't see the despair and rage that typically produces change.

That's because we're living in a totally different culture than we were in the sixties and seventies, the last time people were in such despair and so enraged was during Vietnam. We need to head this thing off before it becomes another Vietnam. For the times that we're living in now, more than half is better than we could even dream of.

Maybe, but that still doesn't make the numbers "overwhelming," IMO.

I was there less than two weeks ago.
And if I had a nickel for every woman in Austin who has shown me enraged...

I agree. I also guarantee that if American soldiers weren't dying, seemingly on a daily basis, there wouldn't even be the opposition there is now.
