WEBSITES, BLOGGERS, AND MEDIA TOUT ANOTHER PHONY POLL

Polls in Iraq show nothing. Polls show what people say they "want". They do not show what the people interviewed are willing to do to get what "they want". There is no such thing as "want". I "want" a Rolls Royce, a Trophy Girl Friend, and a million dollars. If you poll 100 18 year old young men and ask them if they want to get laid in the next two days 95 of them will say "yes". Survey shows 95% of 18 year old males .......... But if they really want to get laid there are whores, places where young ladies of easy virtue "hang out", and all kinds of stores, restaurants, and so on where great looking women hang out; how many of the 95 will actually take the steps to walk up to strange women and "connect"? Almost zero. What have I done to get the stuff I say "I want"?

Which brings me to the widely touted phony poll of Iraqis. Every blog, website, and newspaper claims that polls show Iraqis "want" democracy. Horse shit. What are they willing to do in order to "get" democracy? Ask the 1,500 Iraqis: What do you "want" so badly that you will risk something for it? Are you willing to die for it? Ask Iraqis what democracy is. Ask them what freedom is. They don't have a clue.

They are Muslims. Islam means "submission". Muslims are used to Shiria Law. Submitting is their heritage. Democracy means we submit to almost nothing.

Are Iraqis willing to fight to have a separation of church and state? No way. They submit.

The poll is a phony and anybody who touts the poll as "evidence" that our presence in Iraq is a good thing is lying. The touts have an agenda. The "poll" shows nothing because it didn't ask the real questions.

People looking for justification for our war in Iraq better come up with more. Afghanistan is also rejecting democracy in favor of their old warlord type of existance. "Polls show" there too.
