1. That it may be the thing that gets Bush out of office
If President Bush loses the election in November, it will be thanks to this war. It's a high price to pay, but if we had to have someone like Bush as President, it's better he self-destruct before figuring out how to do even more harm.

3. That it's a distraction
Now I don't have to worry my beautiful mind about poverty, starvation, genocide, AIDS, or any other of those nasty, depressing topics showing up on the "news."

2. this is gonna be a funny poll...
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 02:58 PM by apnu
... but there's nothing here i can vote for. An "other" would be nice, Like an option to say "There's nothing I like about the Iraq war" or "I disagree with some or all options above"

I certainly don't think the Iraq war has done any of those things for the US.

(on edit: hmmm i didn't see the "other" option when i started to reply.)

5. Is this a joke?
If so, you forgot your sarcasm tag. I like NOTHING about this war. It's illegitimate. It's illegal and thousands of people have died. We have lost the respect of our long time allies and it will take generations to regain that respect and trust. Nope. There's not a damn thing I like about this war.

6. This is an EXCELLENT poll
Every American should take it. As they contemplate every choice and say to themselves, "well, it really didn't do any of those things".....

13. Greatest. Poll. Ever.
This is awesome, what a great way to get a point across. I'd love to see someone compile the original along with constructive contributions and make it into a mass email.

Maybe it will be me, but I have to book right now.

I voted "other."

My answer would be the the downfall of the neo-cons, the PNAC and hopefully the BFEE forever! But that won't play in Peoria. What may (my small contribution) "Closed down the torture and rape rooms."

9. What I like best about the war
is the peace I find in knowing that George W Bush's bravery and moral certainty has made this country a safer place for my children and my children's children. By invading Iraq, we have paralyzed the entire global terrorist network and made the Iraqi people more secure than they ever were under Saddam's regime. When our great leader triumphantly landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, a new era of American security and stability in the middle-east was born.

Why yes, I am a Fox Fan. How did you guess?;) :evilgrin: :crazy:

10. The "world's most powerful military"...
got their asses handed to them by a ragtag bunch.

Proving yet again, "we ain't all that."
