From all the rhetoric I'm hearing and reading, quite a few people. In general, the ones I see are the same people who last week were crying "get out of Afghanistan!" and last year were crying "get out of Iraq!"

Reagan would have said "screw a no fly zone, cruise missile his house!"

I hate polls...you should know that. I'd have to see the questions and the way the poll was conducted. However that's not important. People are generally ignorant when it comes to things like this.
Luckily the administration has at least shown that it will be taking a different route. UK already has things in motion and I'm sure France is doing the same.
There is no need for US involvement. All that was needed was our vote on the council.

Now if only one of those righteous countries would put to vote a resolution condemning Bahrain's (including the Saudi's rolling in and shooting up protesters) crackdown.

I'd love to see how we vote on that resolution

The no-fly zone over Iraq “did not prevent Saddam Hussein from slaughtering people on the ground and it did not get him out of office,” Hillary Clinton said before a House Appropriations subcommittee.

Iraqi Kurds were kept safe from Saddam’s air force by the air blockade, which helped them develop a viable and democratic enclave there, Bill Clinton said.

Why would I know that? Did you vote in a poll on polls? Without empirical data, your opinion on polls is all just guesswork to me.

Unless they were poll posts I wasn't paying attention.

If it's not a poll, it's TRIPE!!!

At the end of the blog/post/whatever there was a link to the questions, methodology, and results for the poll. I'm not advocating for the poll, just giving you more information. I don't need you to threaten to dance naked on my lawn over a poll again.

We are talking about Bill Clinton. It is a safe bet that he sleeps on the couch a lot of nights.

My opinion on that poll would need its own thread.
However, a summary is provided below:
