21:35 - Counting Down http://www.bruner.net/blog/2003_03_16_blarchive.shtml#90816396	(top)
Greg Kihn at KFOX is running a "48 Hour Countdown", giving away $1000 each hour to lucky callers. And during this period of worldwide breath-holding, it seems a lot of people are taking the opportunity to jump the fence from one side of the war debate to the other. Some formerly pro-war voices are having second thoughts; but seemingly a lot more in the anti-war camp are making their way to the pro-war side, whether with timid waves or with upper-arms-bared resolve. Now that it's down to the wire, people are starting to really think hard about matters, and decide where the facts really leave them; and when all's said and done, the polls and the blogs are bearing out that the path we're on is the right one. Rick Bruner, for instance, just put up a post that's so good it got him InstaPundited; it'll probably jet him from complaining about his lack of feedback to the giddily freaky position of wondering feverishly how (and whether) to reduce his radar signature. He comes out, "at last", as a warblogger. And he does it with style, too: by demolishing all the anti-war arguments with facts and with reason and with wit. One of the many money quotes: Al Qaeda wouldn't collaborate with Saddam because they're religious zealots and he's a secular tyrant. Gimme a break. Al Qaeda demonstrated clearly in their planning for September 11th they'll do whatever it takes to smite their enemy, even if that means suffering through lapdances in the strip clubs of the Great Satan. If they can buy box cutters in our Wal-Marts, I'm sure they could suck it up to borrow a few kilos of anthrax from Saddam. It's so good to see that all these arguments we've been tossing back and forth in the past few months, when run through the wringer of rational thought, can bring the thinker to the same conclusion no matter where on the political spectrum he originates. And if I've become sure of one thing, it's that post-9/11, the traditional political labels just don't fit anymore. And if there's any other thing I've become sure of, it's that at the very least I know I don't want to be counted among those who wave signs that say AT LEAST SADDAM WAS ELECTED! and then jam their thumbs in their ears and go LA LA LA LA when someone tries to ply them with reasoned debate.
