deaf to the drums of war

Poor Dubya. France and Germany don’t want to go to war. Neither do Russia or China. That leaves him alone in the Security Council, and so any war on Iraq will have to be on his own terms, without the approval of the UN. Problem is, 72% of Americans want to see more proof before going to war, and 48% think Al-Qaeda is a greater risk than Saddam (24%). And while 56% still think we should “take action” in Iraq (36% oppose), that number is sure to continue to drop as we get closer to the attack (mid-February, analysts say). More numbers from the WSJ poll here.
