17. This thread didn't end up here, I posted it in this forum.
And I agree, gagging makes me more than a little uncomfortable. This poll is a sad commentary on the impact
of the continued occupation, and certainly, what has happened in Arizona is a disgrace. But we do have the majority
of Americans opposed to it....thankfully.
