Be reasonable, Ebbie - after all, these Arabs are all the same, aren't they?

The mass media might try to keep the embarassing stuff out of the public eye, but with the Internet and so forth it's going to be a lot harder. The thing is, outside the United States (and I'm by no means too sure about that even) support for this war is pretty well non-existent. Don't be fooled by governments that might go along with it, they will be doing it in face of public opposition.

If they bully the Turkish Government into cooperating, which is said to be likely, they could well end up with a popular revolution there - 80% of the population is apparently against that happening. And God knows what kind of situation that might end up with.

And Tony Blair could be cutting his throat if he breaks all his promises to stick with the UN on this. He could turn out to be a lot less cooperative than Bush might assume.

Most wars are popular when they start, God forgive us, and it's only as things go wrong that the opposition builds. This one hasn't even started yet, and the opposition and resistance is swelling up.
