Polls don’t tell us as much as we need to know.  Who are those 38% remaining enthusiasts?  If Associated Press gave us a kind of cross -section of, for example:
  What is the educational level of these people?
  What TV and radio do they listen to regularly?
  What is their economic situatioin?
  In what parts of the country do they reside?
  Questions of this order could serve as a guide to
discover what local methods would be needed, or could be used, to encourage supporters to change their minds.  Could “neighbors meet neighbors” cross-party discussion groups be organized by opponents of the war—“A Season for Reason”  “Shifting Gears” or inquiry sessions, interviews, trying to find out the reasons for support. Try to determine relative validity of opinions, bases, “wiggle-room” for changing opinions.  Learning to understand more specifically what the percentage really means. Could people who have lost a relative or had a relative injured speak about the meaning uf such a trauma?
How about using the experience of Iraq (and Afthanistan) Veterans Against the War to spearhead an education-in-reality program.
  Of course we can’t know without trying—but again, it’s a possibility for helping to wind down the madness.

A majority of Americans want a Green energy policy that weans us off foreign oil, too. But just because something makes sense and is favored by a majority is no reason to enact it as policy.

Barack Oilbomber and Generalissimo and Exalted Excellency David Petraeus don’t give a damn what you think of our war in Afghanistan. Like it.  Don’t like it.  They don’t give a flit.  They are going to do whatever they want whenever they want.

The national motto of the United States was changed under George Worthless Bush.  It is no longer E Pluribus Unum or In God We Trust.  It is now simply FUCK YOU.  And that is what Oilbomber anb Petraeus are telling this nation.

This is what happens when you get into an undeclared (and therefore, unconstitutional) war against a country that never attacked us, with undefined goals, with no definition of victory, no exit strategy.

What happens is, you turn the whole sordid affair over to the WORST in government: the armchair warriors who think they can nation-build on the far side of the globe, all at taxpayer expense.

The Founding Fathers recognized the danger of getting into foreign wars. We have forgotten their sage advice.

What is a popular war supposed to be?

The Bush legacy is one failure after the other. At the dawn of the Bush presidency, there was the continuing antagonism against anything Clinton; therefore, the Bush miscreants could not give credit to any Bill Clinton policy or warning about an attack. Next the Machiavellian ruthlessness ramrodded us into war, an opportunity for the rich to get richer and right wing tyrants to point their guns. LBJ had his war many years ago justified on a lie. Years later the neoconservative machine pushed us into two more. They never were righteous, intelligent wars. I could have supported Afghanistan in the beginning but not with the Bush/neoconservative idiocy.

That few.
