Unfortunately the lack of any good reason whatsoever for this
invasion hasn't stopped it moving toward actuality so far so I
don't see that this will. Certainly there is not a shred of
real evidence that Iraq has anything to do with bin Ladin and
company. So how would this slow down the drive toward this
catastrophe?

Not in the least.

I am an even worse optimist. I keep hoping the US government
will realize this is a pointless atrocity and back away. I keep
thinking that maybe they will actually listen to the people at
home and abroad who are vehemently against this.
