I don't believe it is a matter of the people getting better at all. Remember what happened to the popularity of Bush's father? What do you think will happen when the fear wears off? What happens if the inspectors find no weapons or, most importantly, there are no factories to build such weapons? After all, they operate under the auspices of the u.n. and the u.n members, by and large, are not friends of the U.S.. They can say, see, we did what you wanted and found nothing.

What happens when the people start questioning why only Iraq and not the Saudis and other nations who harbor terrorists? You have noticed the administration making excuses for the ambassador's wife relative to money being sent to two of the devils who destroyed the towers? Methinks they doth protest too much! (apologies to William S).

What do you think will happen if the people start seeing body bags of young American soldiers.
Do you get the impression that Pres. Bush is "champing at the bit" in the hope that saddam slips up?
He's stopped now, but, recently, he was giving almost daily warnings that sounded like, "go ahead, make my day". Of course, that's just my observation.
War is a great diversion to get the people on your side.

As for the people getting better in choosing sides, let's see what happens when the children who are being dumbed down in our government schools become adults and start voting. Unless we get the government out of the educational system and back to local control the problems will grow.

Also, what happens if the Mexicans who have dual citizenship are allowed to vote in the U.S.? After all, didn't the government give the go-ahead that Mexican ID cards are acceptable?

Bottom line, most people will vote their pocketbooks and for the politicians who promise to fill those pocketbooks.

Special interests rule politics. Just look at the "pork" in the homeland security bill. I know, I know, they all do it, but, to me, a security bill should only deal with security and nothing else. Are you bothered by the pharmacuetical comapnies getting a free ride even if they make a bad batch of serum which causes damage to someone? I am.
