Colin Powell on Who Really Wanted War

To borrow from some others, if you don't get it, I can't help you...

I'm 0-2. I asked two honest questions and got no answers and a not-so-subtle put down.

Put down?

You my need to get someone else to explain it to you.

LOL no---that was YOUR not-so-subtle insult to my intelligence.

What was the point?--That there are bigots out there? DUH

but again--- that wasn't my question.

How do the majority of Jews feel about the Iraq invasion anyway? Anybody seen any stats or polls?

Thanks --apparently they are having some second thoughts about originally supporting the invasion now that Iran is looming larger.

Actually, one of the leading Israeli think tanks (name escapes me right now, but I'll think of it eventually) said at the time that this was the wrong way to go about fighting terrorism and deposing Saddam would only destabilize the middle east. And thinking Jews are a homogeneous group is a mistake in any event. There's an old saying that if you put two Jews in a room, you get three different opinions.

I'm not so naive to think that all Jew think alike nor am I so naive to think all Christians think alike. Just curious as to some general trends of opinion.
