There were elite divisions before the last Gulf War -- bigger ones, if
memory serves. And there were IAC rallies and non-IAC rallies, and so on;
then, in Jan '91, war. Elite splits are nothing new, especially if the US
military is being used.

I did read the Fallows piece, and agree with him that the various end
results are not pretty.
