As we now enter the fourth year of a seemingly endless Iraqi conflict of which the public has grown weary, it might be good to remember that no war in our history has ever engaged the undivided support of the nation. If anything, last week's sparsely attended anti-war rallies suggest that, while the opposition may be loud, it is not very deep.

I find that hard to believe -- did this guy see Los Angeles? Regardless, it misses the point. This is not about "opposition" -- at this point, it is about mutual acknowledgement of the reality of the situation.
