Before anyone's "opinion" is broadcast, printed or tramsmitted in any form of media, I think they should have to pass a quiz about their complete knowledge of the war, Islamic terrorism, American history, democracy, the laws of physics and a couple of other subjects before their opinions are transmitted in anyway.

Who cares about anyones stupid, mis-informed, un-informed "opinion". Especially "the children". Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I was surfing last night at around midnight and caught Aaron Brown interviewing a pollster by the name of Schneider (I think). THey had the latest poll on the war and the public approved of the war and GW's conduct of it by 72%. They talked about it for awhile and seemed amazed by the overwhelming support (in all categories, not listed here). Last comment from Brown and the pollster was "This poll is a reality check for for us on how the people of the US feel".

Where in the Sam Hill have these people been? Reality check? I have not seen a mainstream poll that WASN"T overwhelmingly supportive. These people need to get out more.

They are the "penthouse" class -- they never get down to the street level. Perhaps that is why they are so obsessed with the Arab "street" opinion. They should care more for their own "street."
