BACKING THE WRONG HORSE. The Catholic Church is not the only one backing the wrong horse. As Howard Dean continues to ride the anti-war wagon (that was for you musical fans), consider this. Sixty percent of Americans think Hussein should receive the death penalty. Eighty percent of people responding to a Gallup poll believe the capture of Hussein is a major achievement. Eighty percent of Americans believe we should not withdraw from Iraq. The Washington Post-ABC News poll shows public approval of the President’s handling of the war up ten percent and his overall job approval rating up 4 percent to 57 percent. NBC showed his job approval rating at 58 percent. Ride Howard ride!

I like this from the leading Iraqi newspaper: the Sun has returned to Iraq. Yeah.
