And all this because there is a fear that we are walking into a mine field without friends, or with friends that may run away as soon as things start going boom around them.

It might be all cold feet. Really, I talked to two friends today who are not news hounds, but 'normal people'. They both asked me "So when are we gonna start this war, what is 'your president' waiting for? (They are liberals by parentage, but they support the war.) They won't have the attention-span for the details. They are sold on an idea. Are they really going to pick apart the success until it doesn't feel like success any more? - No, they won't. That will all be done in that "cultural elite" sect Winmag was talking about. The news hounds, here, and at DU.
