Pacifism in the Mainstream Media!

Even MSN.com has now come up with an article I really really like.

"A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll illustrates this blind spot. How many Americans favor responding to the terrorist attack by taking military action? 93 percent. And what if this means war? 86 percent. And what if it means civilian casualties abroad? 77 percent. And what if it means large numbers of U.S. troops getting killed? 69 percent. And what if it means large numbers of American civilians getting killed?

That's the question the pollsters didn't ask. They're still thinking about 'war' in the conventional sense of the word."

Yeah, that sums us up pretty fairly I think.

Americans can be really stupid that way.
