Comic Strips Call Iraq War: We Lost

Here's a nice catch by E&P that takes advantage of the traditional role of the comics page as a cultural bellwether: both Doonesbury and Funky Winkerbean refer to current fighting and US presence in Iraq as a lost war. There are worse ways of judging the development of a point of view among the American people, as cartoonists are generally sensitive to echoing what they feel they're hearing from their audiences, although it's hard to ascribe specific significance to yesterday's confluence of opinion.
