Is public outcry the bar something must hurdle before it becomes a legitimate concern?

I found that while searching for an article published in either Time or Newsweek in December concerning an extensive poll in Iraq. The Moonie article conformed with my remembrance of the other article so I copied it.
Like Mr Doe says, I sure as heck don't trust a single source for all my news. What I like is multiple sources, especially if I am skeptical of the source or the report. It seems that you (Sr Peroxide) are skeptical of both so I think we would all benefit. Here ya go. DEC 19TH ISSUE OF TIME. DOWNLOAD A PDF HERE. http://www.ericumansky.com/2005/12/time_poll_iraqi.html Read'em and weep. B Last edited by Botnst; 02-28-2006 at 08:54 PM. |

In the second instance the polls focus on a single aspect or facet of the war. Looks like a reasonable analysis but is not especially informative concerning the larger aspects of life in Iraq. have you read the Time poll I linked? It gives a much broader view of Iraq and it is Moonie-Free! Unless Time has joined Moon. Maybe so. Bot PS Great site. Thanks for the link. |

It's odd that an old culture like Iraq would seem more primitive than the American colonies of 1770. The founders were standing on centuries of European social evolution and had been recently freed somewhat from social strictures. Once more, a nod to Pat Buchanan: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49030 Invading Iraq, Bush was assured that peoples of a far different culture and creed with a brutal history of subjugation and submission would quickly adapt to democracy. Yet, it took the European Christians centuries. History, that great antidote to ideology, could have taught Bush otherwise. But the neocons told him we have reached "The End of History," that free-market democracy is the future everywhere.

The question is whether or not our armed intervention could have actually moved the bundle of human nerve endings we call "the Iraqi people" into a more sane and sober state of governance such that the next leader they produce from their bowells is more sane than Saddam. I think the cause was lost when we went in. Colin Powell had a premonition: "You break it, you own it."
