75% of Americans think war is inevitable. It probably is. That doesn’t mean anything as far as war being right or wrong goes. It just means it will probably happen — Bush and his cronies want this war, and there’s really nothing we can do to stop it. Instead, I believe we should concentrate in dealing with the US becomming a ‘nation at war.’

Obviously, there’s a great deal of dissent as far as war goes. But people are dissenting for different reasons, and that will affects how they react to the outbreak of war. I think very few people understand the consequences, not just of going to war, but of losing this war.

People are so wrapped up in being against the war, that they forget how much this inevitability will affect their lives. Perhaps instead of concentrating on the useless task of trying to change Bush’s mind, these energies would be better spent on war effort.
