The Gallup/USA Today poll showed that 76 percent of Americans
supported US President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s decision
to launch the war Wednesday.

Only 15 percent of the 602 people interviewed Thursday said they
strongly disapproved, and five percent disapproved but not strongly.

In early February, just 34 percent approved of launching the war
without UN backing. That figure rose to 47 percent last weekend.

Support jumped to 66 percent following Monday's speech in which Bush
gave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) 48 hours to
seek exile or face war.

No surprise. And watch the numbers change again when it seems like America isn't the greatest thing since sliced democracy.

Bigger question: so you're not "proud to be an American". What are you going to *do* about it? Sit and type?

I guess it is only proper to speak for myself: *I* got tired of typing about things I don't like, and now I'm doing something about it. I've gotten active again, after years of sitting on my ass. I should have done this at least 2.something years ago, when Bush stole the election, but no use crying about it, and I'll just attempt to make up for lost time.

But I'm not going to sit around typing any more.

Jon
