This past summer during one of the last episodes of HBO's mega-hit "The Sopranos," A.J., the whiny suicidal son of the show's mafia boss anti-hero, was heard to worry about what he saw as the certain bombing of Iran by President Bush.
"You don't know that," his mafia princess sister responded.
Though this stray snippet, which was widely noted in reviews of the show, did not offer any clues as to the fate of the fictional leaders of the North Jersey mafia, it may have heralded the beginning of a new twist on what it means to be "anti-war" in 2007 America.

...or, the way things are beginning to look, from a third George W. Bush Administration (if their could be one). I regarded the President's statement that Iran would not be permitted to have nukes as a personal commitment from him, to be enforced during his tenure (not a "hand off" of the problem on someone like Hillary, who would simply allow Ahmadinejad and company to do their nuclear thing).
Our heads cut off because they want to love our enemies like a tree hugger.

Hillary probably HOPEs Bush takes out the nuke capability so she can criticize and not have to deal with it
