Polls are dangerous. They report, conveniently, the views of the hoi polloi. Something the Founding Fathers spent great effort to box out of national decision making in founding days of this nation. Given the fact that mis-education of the masses is the goal and the achievement of many in the elite, it is totally hypocritical and disingenuous for them to trot out these silly polls to try to prove anything. Foreign policy never has been driven by popular polls and never will be. It will be driven by the convenience of the political fixers working the will of the corporate elite. What is it that JPM-Chase and Citibank want us to do with the "Axel of Evil"? If you answer that, you've predicted American foreign policy. Prediction: No war. Concessions extracted instead. The stranglehold of the blue-eyed sheiks of Houston to continue a while longer. This stuff is totally cynical. But profitable, if you can just fool the public. Which isn't much of a challenge. -R.
