Why Bush/Powell/Etc. Cannot Compare Iraq to WWII

The public ain't gonna buy it. The Gallup Poll released today:

In response to a Gallup Poll measure last updated on May 21-23, 90% of Americans say that World War II was a "just war" -- a concept derived from the writings of St. Augustine and other theologians who have argued that a war is just if it meets such criteria as: 1) the good clearly outweighs the harm, 2) the war is a last resort after all attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully have been exhausted, 3) a just or moral cause exists for undertaking the war, among others.

Opinion about the current Iraq war is split: 49% say it is a just war and 49% say that it is not.
Uh...TENET TENET!

Okay, sir.
