Just for a bit of color, I'm overseas now and I have yet to find a SINGLE
person who does not consider the Iraq war both morally and politically suicidal.
I'm sure there are exceptions but giving it a wild guess I'd say it's 90/10
against, or at least in that neighborhood.

I've been vocally antiwar on Iraq since Colin Powell was pushing crocked
data at the UN, and I don't plan on changing that.

Just to add more fuel to the fire, I was talking to an Israeli friend of
mine recently and asked him what he thought the life expectancy of Robert
Novak would be if he outed a Mossad agent working the antiproliferation beat.
He thought for a minute and said 'months.' I'd say there's enough moral baggage
to go around.
