Mainstream view of war tilts toward Grijalva's

The Arizona Daily Star

It's interesting how time can transform a politician, and all without their having to change their position.

When Rep. Raúl Grijalva, then a freshman Democrat, voted against granting President Bush the authority to go to Iraq in 2003, he was considerably out of step with the mainstream.

Public support for the war was high. There was talk about WMD's and al-Qaida connections. Voting against going to Iraq would have been a major political risk were Grijalva not in the safe haven of his liberal congressional district, which stretches across Southwestern Arizona.
