Public opinion shifts towards war hawks

[Gar Lipow]

Those who support NATO -- gleefully or reluctantly should be happy.
According to the polls (for whatever they are worth) U.S. public
opinion has shifted towards your side.  According to ABC/Washington
Post poll 68% suppport the air strikes, and 55% percent support the
use of ground troops. According to the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll
62% support air strikes; 55% percent support ground troops; 73%
support ground troops as a "last resort".

Among the left, it seems that opinion is shifting the other way. Some
of those we thought supported NATO, now insist that they never
supported NATO at all. They never meant this to happen. Their support
was for NATO to intervene, but in an entirely different way , using a
very different strategy. In short they intended to support another
NATO -- one that exists in alternate universe. It is most unfair that
they were stuck with the evil twin that unfortunately dwells in this
one.
