From what I've heard discussed around here, it is the pressure of the people that has forced the Administration to react in this way. It seems like if it hadn't been for such rampant opposition by the people to
any action, Bush would have been more willing to listen to Powell, or at least would have been pushed less hard by the Party to do what is effective militarily as opposed to politically.
But, hey, I'm not an expert, just a listener and I live in a die hard liberal area, so it's hard to hear anything that is not propaganda.
