Sportsmen Against Saddam
Yesterday we cheered the patriotic sentiments of golf superstar Tiger Woods. Bicyclist Lance Armstrong has a similar statement on his Web site (emphasis his):

What I will say, and have said many times, is that NOBODY wants a war. Not me. Not President Bush. Not Tony Blair. No one . . . but sometimes it may be unavoidable. I absolutely support the President and absolutely support our troops.

The Weekly Standard reports that Wayne Gretzky--a Canadian, no less--also backs America. "All I can say is the president of the United States is a great leader, I happen to think he's a wonderful man and if he believes what he's doing is right, I back him 100%," the hockey great said at a Tuesday press conference in Calgary, Alberta. "If the president decides to go to war he must know more than we know or we hear about. He must have good reason to go, and we have to back that."
