At the time I was torn. I certainly respected Colin Powell and watched with interest when he addressed the UN on the issue. However my gut told me that Bush was being manipulated by Cheney who I felt thought that the last war there was unfinished business. But the thing that hurt me the most was when my business partner (a big Bush supporter) told me that by not supporting Bush’s decision to invade was UN-American. I basically read him the riot act saying that my protest was certainly as American as it gets.
