Well Doug....I have to say with all respect that some of the polls seem a bit strange. A polling company in Toronto asked people "Would you support the removal of Saddam H.?

I would...in a New York minute.....so my answer would be "Yes".

I don't like him, I think he's a bully, and I'd rather enjoy watching him being hung upside down, like they did to Mussolini. (well now ya know...I ain't a pacifist!)

But if they asked a second question...like "should we bomb the crap out of Iraq and it's poor fundamentalist peasants, in order to 'get him'.....My answer would be a huge NO!

I do NOT think the majority of the US supports going to war.....but there's certainly no way to prove my (or your) point with polls. They can mean anything....and do. Only TIME will tell......BUT.....a lotta folks seem willing to hit the pavement, and I think this is already being noticed big time in Washington.

Cheers

Rick
