There are some really discouraging poll numbers out. They're not discouraging because Bush is slipping but because it reflects a growing lack of will among the American population. The public was at best 50/50 when the war started but that number had really climbed over the initial months. Now, less than half think that Iraq is worth the cost.
Some will certainly blame this on Bush's lack of leadership and he deserves some of the blame, but Americans should not need that in order to remain positive about the idea of re-inventing the Middle East in a peaceful manner. We shouldn't need the President holding our hands in order to be able to see the good. But we seem to have gotten used to being baby-fed our information and we no longer think for ourselves. Yes, we have made mistakes, but the change in Iraq has happened faster than anyone could reasonably expect. In a year and a half, we have re-invented a whole nation. That's incredible and we should not feel like we are failing because we're not.
