You have a picture of the Uncle Sam guy with a swastika for the star of david, and who actually is pretty antijewish if you speak with him, and who drove left wing jewish people out of the Iraq sanctions coalition. He's at, like, every event.
I love what you did here. There was so much to see that the only way to see it is to look at these kazillions of pictures.
Thanks!
I liked the one of Peter . .. .

Let's all raise a glass and toast these two idiots who hit their heads while looking out the top of a bus IN A TUNNEL. What the hell is there to see in a tunnel anyway? The depletion of the gene pool of anti-Americans couldn't have begun with two finer individuals. Here's hoiping that several you will be the next to step up to the plate.

The only depletion of the gene pool here is by trolls who can't get laid
Well, look how lonely the pro-war crowd is.
The group that is against US unilateralism is by far the majority, especially if you include people outside the US.

ABC Poll
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/Iraq_poll020903.html
Fifty-six percent of Americans in this ABCNEWS Nightline poll favor military action to force Saddam Hussein from power, still a majority but down sharply from 69 percent in the last few weeks. Support drops further to a 39 percent minority if U.S. allies oppose it. Earlier last month it was a 54 percent majority.

Military Action Against Iraq <http://media.abcnews.com/images/aquadot.gif>
8/11 8/29
Favor Military Action Against Iraq 69 % 56%
Favor Even if U.S. Allies Opposed 54% 39%
<http://media.abcnews.com/images/aquadot.gif>
While most Americans (56 percent) think it's "very important" for the United States to force Saddam from power, the challenge for the Bush administration is to make the case that there's a significant enough threat to warrant military action.

What Creates Greater Risk of More Terrorism? <http://media.abcnews.com/images/aquadot.gif>
If the U.S. Takes Action Against Iraq 40%
If the U.S. Doesn't Take Action 47%
<http://media.abcnews.com/images/aquadot.gif>
Forty-seven percent think the risk of further terrorism will be greater if the United States doesn't take military action against Iraq, but almost as many, 40 percent, think taking action poses the greater threat. In contrast, right after Sept. 11, 73 percent thought inaction against terrorists posed the greater risk, fueling widespread support for military action.
Public Challenges Bush
Another challenge for President Bush is convincing the public he has a clear policy on Iraq. Just four in 10 think he does.
That's one reason the public's rating of Bush's handling of the situation isn't stellar. A bare majority (52 percent) approve, well below his overall job rating which recent polls have pegged in the mid-60s.
Further, Americans overwhelmingly (80 percent) think Bush should get authorization from Congress before launching an attack on Iraq. The public splits on who should have the final say if Bush and Congress disagree: Forty-nine percent think it should be Congress; 45 percent say Bush.
Prediction of War
Weeks of public discussion about the prospect of military action against Iraq has most Americans, 71 percent, thinking the two nations are headed for war. And this isn't just projection on the part of those who support military action: Seventy-five percent of supporters think there will be war and almost as many opponents, 69 percent, agree.
The expectation of war is much higher now than in 1997 when the United States and its allies were in a dispute with Iraq over weapons inspections (54 percent expected war then) and in 1996 when the United States fired missiles after Iraq attacked Kurdish rebels (52 percent).
Factors Determining Military Action Support
A critical factor in support for military action is a sense of threat. Support for attacking Iraq is highest (80 percent) among Americans who see inaction as the greater peril. That dives to 33 percent among those who think military action poses the greater risk of further terrorism.
Having a clear policy also matters. Attacking Iraq to oust Saddam is favored by 72 percent of those who think Bush has a clear policy, compared to 44 percent of those who don't. And it's favored by 78 percent of those who think it's "very important" to force Saddam from power, compared to just 41 percent of those who call it "somewhat important."
The decline in support for military action comes only among Democrats and independents, introducing partisan divisions on the issue.
Now, 48 percent of Democrats support military action, down from 65 percent a few weeks ago, and support among independents has dropped by a similar amount (down 18 points to 53 percent). Republicans haven't wavered, with their support holding steady at about three-quarters.
Support may have softened among those less loyal to the administration as a result of the recent public debate which has highlighted opposing views on how best to handle the issue.
