Iraq

I wouldn't be who I am without discussing the war. I found this article in the New York Times today.

Poll

What took people so long? Interesting how people are so opinionated when gas prices are the highest they've been in a while.

"Sixty-one percent of respondents now say that the United States should never have taken military action against Iraq, up from 51 percent in a CBS News poll in April and 58 percent in the same poll in January."

Sixty one percent? That's crazy. Finally, the public is seeing that we were sold a bunch of crap and young men and women are paying with their lives, limbs and futures. Sixty-one percent is still too low for something that seems quite clear to me. I wonder how high that number is with the families that have lost someone in this war.

What does this poll really mean? Polls give you an idea of certain people's ideas, but by no means represents the United States as a whole. The media needs to stop trying to have polls tell us what or how we think and start covering stories from different points of view. Not just the popular one.
