Poll: More People Want U.N. War Approval

(The New York Times) — Nearly two-thirds in a new poll, 64 percent, say they want the United States to wait for U.N. approval before launching a military strike against Iraq.

The majority of Americans obviously have more reasonable heads on their shoulders than their President does, to bad he rarely seems to listen to them - maybe if he spoke in places that were not full of known supporters he’d hear this sort of thing first hand. Of course if he did that getting that all important sound bite for the media that is necessary for the U.S. Administration to try and convince the majority that they are actually a minority would be a bit more difficult ‘eh?
