I revise my last statement. The US only got its first concrete demonstration of "world support." So it's time to move on to another. The Administration's next item on the wish list? A little something more. Any excuse for Rumsfeld and Cheney to go in with guns blazing.

On the other hand, does anyone really think that Iraq will unconditionally comply? Saddam has played this game multiple times before. How long before he starts resisting and Georgie is back at the bully pulpit pushing the world again, this time for Security Council for an endorsement of armed action? I give it four months, tops.

Hey, at the very least, war is good for the economy. And the US economy could still use a shot in the arm.
