What is it you don't understand about the word "wrong"? There is a big difference between something like "we were totally wrong to go to war in Iraq" and "we went to war on the best info we had, but it turned out to be wrong" etc. When you just quote "wrong" you're not saying much, and leaving a lot of room for spin. I'm just interested in the original context of the word. Brian

yeah John, if you saw your neighbor beating the crap out of his wife, you would just go back in your house and be glad it was none of your business...

Religious Leaders Ahead in Iraq Poll 1 hour, 58 minutes ago Top Stories - washingtonpost.com By Robin Wright, Washington Post Staff Writer Leaders of Iraq (news - web sites)'s religious parties have emerged as the country's most popular politicians and would win the largest share of votes if an election were held today, while the U.S.-backed government of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi is losing serious ground, according to a U.S.-financed poll by the International Republican Institute. More than 45 percent of Iraqis also believe that their country is heading in the wrong direction, and 41 percent say it is moving in the right direction. Within the Bush administration, a victory by Iraq's religious parties is viewed as the worst-case scenario. Washington has hoped that Allawi and the current team, which was selected by U.S. and U.N. envoys, would win or do well in Iraq's first democratic election, in January. U.S. officials believe a secular government led by moderates is critical, in part because the new government will oversee writing a new Iraqi constitution.
