#4  Boy, times have changed. Almost have to feel sorry for the ol' bitter lefty dinosaurs when you read this stuff.

Was a car in front of me this morning that had a bumper sticker that said, "question authority" and one that said "just say no to one world solutions".

Tide has turned. Sorry grandpa, but your ideas now rate the same cool factor as Phyllis Shaffley's. haha.

#3  These people had to smell the propaganda and false news of the Baathists and Saddam so long that they have excellent BS detectors.

Have you lived for a while in some totalitarian realm? If not, you are very perceptive.

The UN resolution questions answer is surprising. I would think they would naturally distrust anything UN at all.

The support the government against terrorists has it truly awesome. That level of support speaks volumes against the Bull Shit the media, LLL and others spew.

#1  Whoa. A poll of Arabs taken by Arabs and this is the result? Wow. They've come a long way in 2 years. I'm stunned. I hope this is legit - it's 10x more impressive regards their Grabbing a Clue than I had any right to expect. I guess the Wahhabists I was surrounded by were off the scale, relative to these people. My complements to the Iraqi Kurds and Shi'a. The Sunni responses are remarkably identifiable in the numbers. Congrats, Iraqis. Keep going - it gets better and better the further you go.
