Andrew Sullivan again...

SEVEN OUT OF TEN: That's the proportion of Americans supporting the president's ultimatum to Saddam, according to the Washington Post's poll. 75 percent: That's the proportion disapproving of the way in which the United Nations has behaved with regard to this matter. 71 percent support going to war with Iraq. 72 percent believe that the administration has "done enough to try to win support from other countries for taking military action against Iraq." Those are stunning figures. There may be less public division about this war than any war in recent history. That's worth remembering as you read the front-page editorializing put out under the guise of "news analysis," by the New York Times.

QUOTE OF THE DAY I: "The danger is clear: Using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country or any other. The United States and other nations did nothing to deserve or invite this threat, but we will do everything to defeat it. Instead of drifting along toward tragedy, we will set a course toward safety." - George W. Bush, making the essential, to my mind unanswerable, case.
