Hey GB, i think maybe i didn't come across as clearly as I meant to, when i said tyranny of the majority, i meant the idea that just because the majority of people feel one way, that doesn't mean it's the right way, it's kinda the reason we have the Senate, where a tiny state like RI gets as much say as a huge state like California or Texas. I don't mean to imply that FC protects us from a tyrannical ruler or anything like that, just that having someone to play devils advocate and ask questions from the opposing side is a useful and necessary part of our government. Sorry I guess I don't type as clearly a 1am.
Duke, I think you're right on when you say Bush went about it the wrong way. I agree with you that we're kinda in a tight spot because we can't back down now, and something obviously needs to be done, but i'd be better if we had more support. I think Bush noticed that too because I remember one of his speeches from the fall before the whole Iraq situation got as heated as it is now, and he didn't have nearly as many facts or reasons for going to war. Then it was completely based on emotion. Now it seems like he's doing a better job of giving solid reasons why we the situation is unacceptable and why we're not going to put up with it any more.
