It is no longer available. The poll was first reported in the Times of London. Actually, the Timesonline on April 2nd, I believe:

timesonline.co.uk

But the article is no longer available except via archive ($$$):

newsint-archive.co.uk

Which is why I provided all the links in my original post below, to validate that other people saw the same article.

Now, if you wish, spend the money and have the actual article in your hot little hands.

But note that headline.. It's not that 1 in 3 are against going to war with Saddam, but that 1 in 3 French actually SUPPORT Saddam over the US and Coalition forces.

And btw Michael, whether you agree or disagree with my opinions, you should respect the fact that, unlike many others out here, I am fully prepared to document facts backing my opinion.

If I were here just to make up stuff and spout it out half-@ssed (like many others on this thread), it would be a self-defeating purpose.

Because I want to deal in facts, because facts are stubborn things. We can interpret them, misconstrue them, avoid them, embrace them, or like some folks out here, even invent them (if no one's checking.. ;0)

But then I would be a propagandist, not an analyst. I would be a BS'er, and not a debater.

And all it would achieve is deepening any delusional thinking that are the repercussions of my avoidance of the facts.
