Interesting seeing this thread again, and thinking how time has moved on. I was particularly struck by Suffet's post up the top of the thread, and especially the words:

"This isn't some ill conceived neo-colonial adventure like Vietnam or some campaign to pull a petty emir's petroleum soaked chestnuts out of the Iraqi fire. This is a war that was thrust upon us, not one of our own choosing." Well, that was September 14th 01...

Woody had two sides, as Art said, but then the only thing that doesn't have two sides is a flat picture. Real objects and real people have to have two sides, and the two side have to be joined together - in this case for example by a vision of how things could be and should be and aren't.
