Exactly...

Give me a war with a justified reason... something that the people of the world can stand behind and support... and I'll be in the cheering section myself.

But obviously this isn't a war that the people of the war can stand behind.

Bush supporters would have us believe that the entire world is wrong, and wimpy.

Perhaps it's just that the rest of the world has a different view, a less brainwashed view, a more unbaised view.... a more accurate view.
