**NOTE** As always, references to Bush and his decisions are of course referring to the Bush Administration and the real decision makers like Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Rove, etc. Let's not kid ourselves about Bush making any of these policies...
1.) Approval from Congress:
2.) Support of our allies:
3.) Approval of the U.N.:
4.) Popular mandate:
If Bush attacks, he does so with only the support of his right-wing cronies in his administration and congress. Even the more moderate Republicans are backing away from it.
Could he possibly be so stupid as to continue with the action anyway? Could he really be so reckless as to continue with the invasion when pretty much everyone in the world, and a majority in the U.S., say no?
We'll see...it will depend on the economy. If it improves, expect the talk of war and invasion to dissipate into memory. If it doesn't, I bet they keep beating their ineffectual war drums.
