Fortunately, I don't see any lack of will to win. President Bush is determined, and his supporters are behind him 100%. 100,000 people in DC means about 1% of the hard-core anti-Americans showed up...hardly a good showing; and this is their best time...with the war becoming a grind and Katrina/Rita depressing spirits, if there was a time when an anti-war movement could tap into public dismay, this was it. It hasn't happened - and for two reasons:1. We really do want to win - all of us who support the liberation of Iraq will do whatever proves necessary to secure absolute victory.
2. The anti-war protestors aren't really anti-war - they are actually anti-American. I feel for those who are just misguided into the anti-war movement, but one has to face the fact that if you are within a country mile of the really horrible people of ANSWER, then you are besmirched with the muck of treason. The broad mass of the American people will never sign on to a group which not only says that the war should end, but calls our efforts to date part of a criminal conspiracy.
It really amazes me that people can actually state that the "liberation of Iraq" is our desire and goal as America. It belies the fact that it took Bush and this administration, oh what, two years to settle on that as the reason for the invasion of Iraq. Only the die hards are buying that assertion these days. Most of mainstream America have children, and they all have seen the kid with the chocolate all over their face denying they ate the chocolate. Bush, being the immature kid that he is, has shit all over his face, and the rest of America is finally smelling it, and not wanting anything to do with it.
Anti-Americans, my ass. Marginalizing the anti-war march, yeah, 100,000 people really isn't that much. Ho hum.
