Are Americans as Ignorant on the Iraq War as Time Magazine States They Are? 
Who took the poll? When? Where? Otherwise it is as meaningless as the drivel dished out by Time writers Joe Klein and Charles Krauthammer. If the poll is accurate the American public is far more ignorant of reality than I thought they were.
In personal conversations I have had with individuals, which is not a scientific analysis, approximately 90% say the U.S. went into Iraq for a three letter word - "Oil"! This is often followed by a few choice four-letter words!
The American public cannot be misinformed anymore. The American public doesn't need a steady diet of either Klein or Krauthammer, with their one-sided, twisted views.
We need to know when we can get out of this Iraq debacle and punish those who have broken laws, laws which the Geneva Code forbids; "conducting war without a legitimate cause" and "laws against holding people in captivity and torturing them without any trial."
Is that the American way we are fighting for? Is this a track record for the nation that periodically boasts of Christian goals of spreading freedom and democracy?
There are Ten Commandments that the religious right wants posted in every public building. One of those commandments prompted the religious right to seek to remove President Clinton from office for violating it.
What about the commandments "Thou shalt not kill" and "thou shalt not lie"? Don't these commandments deserve equal consideration?
The Bush Administration has broken both of these commandments.
