The reasons for being against action on both sides are quite different in many respects. Those on the far right desire a US with an impenetrable wall and a standing defensive milita -- rest of the world be damned. Heh, they might want to lynch Mexicans and shoot UN supporters in Utah. Who knows. I may be exaggerating. The point is, unification looks rather grim. The pitifully small contigent of righties who are against military action are certain not to give any Bushie reason to pause and reconsider. The USA is a nation of VERY FRIGHTENED PEOPLE. It has always been this way. The admin has that on their side. The majority will always err on the side of rediculously irresponsible caution (e.g. omb the hell out of someone, spy on neighbors, make a deeper Northern and Southern Crater in Iraq, etc.) They just take what they are given, never even asking themselves if this sort of thing actually makes them any safer! Sales on burglar alarms exploded after 9-11. See what I mean? Bush has the public in his hands, regardless of what he does.
