Iraq War: A change in the tide?

Or the worm is turning, or something.  Maybe.

I just ran into a friend of mine on the street at lunch.  We stood there for a while in the middle of the San Francisco financial district bitching and moaning Dilbert-like about the general cluelessness of corporations. 

This guy is a Republican, Bush voter and Iraq War supporter.  Yes, in California at least, it's still possible - at least occasionally - for Democrats and Republicans to actually be friends.  Weird, I know.  But they say that about California a lot.

I should say he used to be an Iraq War supporter.  All of a sudden, without any mention of anything political on my part, he launched into a rant about what a mess the Iraq War is, how there's no good solution possible, how Rummy is a degenerate jerk and how the only way out is going to be declaring "peace with honor" and leaving.

Even some Republicans are still susceptible to reality-based phenomena.  That's good to see.
