The So Called Civil War
This post talks about how the majority of people in Iraq prefer their current situation to when Saddam ruled the country. Here in the states a recent poll found that %76 of Americans think that Iraq is in a civil war. However when you poll the Iraqis only %27 believe they are in a civil war. On some level I suspect this is a clear indication of the MSM influence on the perception of this war.
I have been told countless times that the American people lack the basic knowledge needed to make a decision about the invasion of Iraq since they wrongly believed there was connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda in plotting 9/11. One can’t help but think the same argument now applies in reverse. The American citizenry clearly lacks the knowledge about the situation in Iraq and therefore we can discredit it’s decision to vote in politicians favoring an early withdrawal. Something tells me those on the left will not be so eager to embrace the logic of this argument now that ignorance favors their political desires.
