Little Hawk, I agree with you on most of this. I actually supported the invasion, but I am appalled by how poorly it was handled -- both in terms of forming a true coalition before going in, and in terms of preparing for the challenges of resurrecting a viable Iraq after the initial assault phase was over. I am baffled that the administration seems to have given so little thought to what we would do with Iraq once we were there; since we all knew the American military could beat the Iraqi military, the obvious question was "What then?". I still feel that Iraq was a problem that required a resolution, and that the resolution needed to have a substantial military component. But I am discouraged by the situation we have now created, due to poor planning and ideological arrogance.

Going back to the topic of this thread, though, it seems to me that those of us who are unhappy with the current state of affairs should be able to find a better spokesperson than Cindy Sheehan. It's going to be hard to rally our fellow citizens to our cause if she's the best leader we've got.
