He's no Reagan (or Clinton, for that matter), but it appears to my eyes &
ears that Bush does enjoy some serious support for his wars (and I see flag
waving on his behalf everyday -- indeed, in many of the offices my cleaners
work in, there are several framed photos of W & Laura with captions urging
said person to re-elect him). Some of that is waning, I'll grant you, but
there are still enough people who think he's Warrior Prez. But maybe you're
right. We'll see soon enough.
