66% of Americans favor working within the UN, even when UN opposes us.

This is an astonishing figure as reported by Fareed Zakaria of Newsweek, page 33 of this week's issue. I never buy Newsweek but my family did so I flipped through it.

The survey was taken by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, released last week.


After reading that article I really feel even better about this election. Just think, after listening to the media the past few years you'd think that a majority of Americans leaned towards the limbecile view, the freedom fries view. Au contraire.

So how is all that "Kerry said world test" BS going to hurt Kerry? According to this survey 66% probably think that he is right.

1. That's consistent with the percentage
that preferred working with the UN during the runup to the invasion. There's always been more of us than the mouthbreathers.

3. That leaves 34%
About the right number for the BushBot base.
