Well I was against the crap shroud and I didn't get my way. I say that only because a majority opinion doesn't make it correct, or incorrect. Not that it has anything to do with the thread, but in 2003 mostly people agreed with the war in Iraq. Just like Americans largely agreed with going to Vietnam in mid to late 1960s. And they'll largely agree the next time and the next after that. Cause you don't get to all out war without large public support, by design. The Gallup Iraq poll shows 52% wanted to remove Saddam "with ground troops" 6 months before Sept 11. Why has USA not seriously attacked Syria? Because there is not enough public support to do so.

Wait, am I allowed to link to these news sites now? Maybe this law will be good for some, they can claim it's too expensive to supply evidence for internet arguments. Let the misinformation campaigns begin!
