I think it was a big mistake for Bush not to secure a declaration of war when he addressed Congress immediately after 9/11. He could've gotten a blank check then. Now, the Democrats feel emboldened to carp and undermine re the war because they think the country's slid back into its usual complacency. I do still think the US would support turning Iraq into a parking lot if that's what it takes to make sure 9/11 can't happen again, on a larger scale. Rep. Paul's arguments against are familiar, and he may even be right, but this is perceived as a war of national survival, in which we can't wait for potential enemies to get their licks in first before acting. ultimately, the status quo in the mideast can't continue, and it's clear President Bush has decided to shape the new order there before somebody else does.
