Yes. I don't know where you heard it (Fox maybe?) but it
absolutely is not the case. I can't recall exact figures from
a year ago, but there was always a majority of the country
against it. There was a brief blip just after the start of things
when the level of approval went up, before things started to
get ugly and the real long term problem became apparent.

Last week I heard that 70% of the Brits approved of the war. Was this
in error?

This thread has been an eye-openeer, and this particular mail
has finally prompted me to get to my keyboard. This is unbelievably
patronising. The former Spanish government took Spain into
a war against the expressed will of the Spanish people, just
as my government's country did (the United Kingdom). The purported
basis for the war has been demonstrated now to have been false.
The Spanish people have voted, in a democratic way, to remove
that government.

I know it's hard for quite a few Americans to accept it (evidently
including Jay), but just because the US government wants to do
something, doesn't mean that everyone in the whole world should
agree with them.

Guess if I ever do come to Iowa City (not honestly very likely), I'll
be looking for another hotel.
