The Lantern seams to have a problem with the fact that George W. Bush has not consulted public opinion — specifically, the hundreds of thousands of Americans who marched from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco. (Note: Those people, while loud, make up about 0.1 percent of America.)
Maybe Bush feels the people marching in the streets were wrong, and the 67 percent of Americans who do support military action against Iraq (even without a United Nations resolution), are right. Virtually every protester started the day with the premonition that Bush’s primary reasons for attacking Iraq is oil, imperialism or some other far-fetched idea that isn’t the world’s stated objective: disarming Iraq.
If a group of people were accusing me of something sinister with no relevance to logic or fact, I would write off their opinions as well.
