"That is precisely the point. There was no vote. The people of the world opposed the war (according to every poll taken)"

Oh! so now the tune changes?

It's said there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. I would put polls way down the list from there. You have to know what the question asked was, how it was asked, and even in what tone of voice. They ran a show in Canada that went to American cities and asked all sorts of outrageous questions like would you be in favor of sending troops into Saskatchewan? And; are you opposed to the Canadian practice of placing their elderly on ice flows to die? You would be amazed at the results of those polls. :)

When did the Iraqi's vote for Saddam, oh I forgot he got 100%.
