Just out of interest 300,000 (if we are to believe the protest marchers estimations) make up a majority?


Polls show most Americans disapprove of Bush's handling of the war and a slight majority think it's not worth it. This was certainly not the feeling I got in March of 2003 when I lived in the US. It would seem at least 30% of Americans supported the idea then but don't now. I'd love to know just what they were thinking back then.

"those outside Iraq"?

I think a lot of people in Kuwait, Iran and Saudi Arabia thought Saddam was actually dangerous to them too.

The majority of Americans (54%) now believe the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. So the pro-invasion crowd can now longer accuse war opponents of being a bunch of left-wing euro winnies.

....Or can they? Confused
