public have come around. I doubt it. Bush is unpopular because he is doing badly, not because he is bad. But I'll take it anyway.

I'll give him this much, however. He makes Abdullah a happy man.

6. I see your point....
My point is the public doesn't think the war was wrong, but it wasn't worth the price. It still concerns me they accept a preemptive war.
