"Public support for the war is decreasing; more than half of those polled now favor negotiations with Milosovic to end the war."

I'll bet Nuke is crying in his beer right about now.

Just read on Stratfor that Britain has backed off from advocating a ground invasion. The defense minister is now claiming that he never was in favor of a ground invasion of Kosovo. The only ones in favor now are Nuke and Robert Barry.

I can't believe it's that high. I haven't met a person yet, except here on SI, who believes America should send in ground troops. As a matter of fact it's a rare person indeed who even believes we should be involved in this war at all.

Granted it's only my personal little corner of the world. But it usually is fairly representative of the population on a whole. Not this grossly out of step.

I bet if you ask the question a different way you would get a far different answer. How about....

Do you believe we should continue dropping bombs on Yugoslovia even if it means killing hundreds of more innocent people?

That's the real question!
