Evidence not supporting prejudice is must be ignored.

I guess you and Teribus ought to know, Keith. I prefer to go with the evidence that has the most credibility, myself.

We all know that polls are not consistent. Three different polling outfits can poll the same population three times and come up with three different sets of results. I am willing to defer to whatever it is that the population of Afghanistan want, but I want to know that the poll hasn't been devised in such a way as to produce a particular result (and we know that polls are often designed in this way). I know that there are women in Afghanistan who want all foreign forces out of their country. I am not going to take the results of a poll conducted by news sources that I don't entirely trust in the first place, as gospel. I need to see corroborating evidence.
