I was talking about the opinion of people. In a January Gallup poll, the last one I could find, the numbers were:
**************************************************
Again, though, I definitely believe that those numbers are skewed by the presence of the "UN option." If truly forced to choose between "supporting the US in War without UN" and "opposing the US in war without the UN", I think that those numbers look much differently.
This is pure speculation and wishful thinking. But nobody will stop you when you do a poll (as extensive as Gallup's poll) with only the two options you mention.
Moreover, I think that the opions of governments are more important that those of polls. I think that this is a prime example of why republican government is preferrable to a direct democratic government.... as sometimes governments need to make tough decisions that an inexpert populace might not make.
Er, John, I think you need to read up on how a democracy works. In a democracy, decisions are not made by the populace but by the politicians that were elected by the populace. Politicians in a democracy aren't any more or any less experts than their counterparts in a republican government.
