...the one thing polls indicate beyond a doubt is that Americans are confused...they are all for boys not kissing but can't decide whether getting more people killed in Iraq is worse...or better.

56 Percent in Survey Say Iraq War Was a Mistake

By John F. Harris and Christopher Muste, Washington Post Staff Writers

President Bush (news - web sites) heads into his second term amid deep and growing public skepticism about the Iraq (news - web sites) war, with a solid majority saying for the first time that the war was a mistake and most people believing that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld should lose his job, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

While a slight majority believe the Iraq war contributed to the long-term security of the United States, 70 percent of Americans think these gains have come at an "unacceptable" cost in military casualties. This led 56 percent to conclude that, given the cost, the conflict there was "not worth fighting" -- an eight-point increase from when the same question was asked this summer, and the first time a decisive majority of people have reached this conclusion.

....how can going to the wrong country to kill the wrong people, civilians at that, help "contribute to the long-term security of the United States"...unless we are afraid of children? Do ANY means justify that end? Isn't that what Muslims Extremists believe as well?
