America awakens

Here is what Rep. Dennis Kucinich had to say today in his article in "In These Times":

"Every major poll confirms that the war is a loser for the president and his party. Consider one of the most prominent: The ABC/Washington Post poll, which has surveyed public opinion on the war regularly since March 2003. Responses to all pertinent key questions clearly show eroding support for the war. Support for the president’s handling of Iraq has steadily fallen; belief that the war was worth fighting has fallen; belief that the number of U.S. casualties are an acceptable cost of the war has steadily fallen; belief that the war has contributed to U.S. long-term security has steadily fallen, and support for keeping forces in Iraq has steadily fallen. There are no exceptions to this trend."

Finally, finally. But it seems that awakenings like this always take such a gruesome amount of time. Nevertheless, every day that brings withdrawal closer is in its own way redemptive.
