Hi Steve-
Maybe I just live in a leftist ghetto, but I don't get the impression that 
everyone in the US who 'works with their hands' is pro-war. The impression I 
have is that most people are uneasy with and vaguely opposed to going to war 
without UN backing or without evidence of a direct threat. Should either of 
those materialize, things will probably change. I think a lot of people here 
also realize that war will be expensive and wonder how it will be financed 
and if it's the best use of state funds given the much spoken of federal 
deficit, budget crises, and poor economy.

I agree completely that opaque and technical sounding language is going to 
inhibit communication, but that's kind of an obvious point.

best,
Nate
