Since many Americans are not civic-minded and only casual observers of the world, it's not surprising that the steady drum beat of media criticism and partisan Democratic Party claptrap have taken their toll on public support. It would be more surprising if the high levels we initially had were still in existence. The Bush administration needs to make the case that Saddam's still being in place was not an acceptable option and that in the real world sacrifice and suffering are often the price of long term success.
For me it all came into perspective seeing the interim Iraqi President sitting down with President Bush. By the way who is the President of Kosovo and Bosnia?
