"We already are hearing about polls in the US showing the American public's support for attacking Iraq waning based on expected casualties."

Give us a link to one showing support below 60% based on high casualties.

ABC news reported a poll showing just what you said - over 60% approval of attacking Saddam - but they then started asking the same question using ever iuncreasing casualty figures and with American casualties in the thousands, the poll showed only a 42% approval rating.

I for one despise ABC and assume the poll was biased, but HoChiMinh showed us all how to lose a war militarily and win it politically. That is why my article begins :"Saddam cannot win a war with the US, if the US has the will to win" ---emphasis on will.
