Anyone I have talked to here in NY (so far) is against the war. Noone is in disagreement that Saddam is a bad, bad man, however - nobody wants to go to war in Iraq. There are the few that are very gung-ho about it, but they really are in the minority. A lot of people think the efforts should still be placed into finding Osama, and plenty are worried about the North Korea situation.
Personally, I don't want it either. At with the increased security all around the city, it is costing NYC 5 million dollars a WEEK. With the economy the way it is, I mean..that's not going to make things any better. I do hope people are reassured. And I'm not trying to put a dollar value on our safety. But economically, this is going to keep getting worse. That, and I worry about retaliation as well, I guess. I love where I live, but I wouldn't mind not living near so many landmarks.
