Interesting article speculating on Dick Cheney's motivations, from a former insider.

While the title, "Sympathy for the devil", is a cliché, it still resonates with me regarding this whole business. I continually seek viewpoints to sanely balance the extreme anti-war and generally anti-Bush stance that the local geopolitical tub has me soaking in. (I'm quite sure I'd feel and act inversely if I lived and worked in a conservative climate.) Today an orker asked me if I was anti-war, and I had to say "My feelings on this topic are subtle and complex." In truth, my internal parliament of demons has a solid anti-war majority -- I can tell because that's the current state of my gut feeling -- but had I just said "yes", the vocal minority would have been bawling within my head for the rest of the day. It's all about tact.
