Way too much pessimism on your part. 43% opposition to a war -- before it
even starts, and when the target openly possesses nuclear materials -- is
plenty to work with. Opposition would drop as soon as the war started and
everyone would be called upon to "support our troops," but would then
skyrocket a few months into the war, shortly after the military defeat of
the Iranian regime and the rise of a guerrilla resistance even more
ferocious than the one in Iraq.

To be honest, I'm having a hard time believing that there will be an actual
war against Iran; even the Bushites are not that stupid or crazy. Or am I
just out of touch?
