Here are a couple of interesting opinion pieces -- one from a pro-war leftist and one by an anti-war right-winger. Both are worth a read.

Maybe I should clarify something. I never said anything about a "war of conquest". I said "power grab" and I stand by that. As for
most war supporters being ill-informed, that doesn't even necessarily pertain to whether a war in Iraq is a good idea or not (I think not). A recent poll indicated that a large percentage of Americans now believe that it was Iraq that flew the planes into the Trade Center**. That level of ignorance is not an accident and if it doesn't scare you it damn well should.
** Gallup, Mar 3, 03 -- 51% believe that Saddam Hussein was personally involved
