WAR: Hegemonists For War
Note that Bush has recently received statements of support for the war from Wayne Gretzky, Tiger Woods & Lance Armstrong. (Of course, Armstrong is effectively a federal employee, given that his cycling team is sponsored by the US Postal Service; you have to love a guy who wears the USPS American Eagle logo while cycling across France).
My thesis? Each of these guys is used to being disliked for being totally dominant. Thus, they sympathize with the need for the US to go about its business no matter how many people hate us for our successes.
