On the American Research Group’s web site they have the results of a recent poll that they did.
I won’t even go into how small the sample size is, I was just intrigued that when asked
Do you favor or oppose the withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq even if it means an increase in violence among the Iraqi people?
53% of Democrats were still in favor of withdrawal, but when asked
Do you favor or oppose the withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq even if it means violence could spread to other countries in the region?
56% of Democrats were in favor of withdrawal.
Now I know that Republicans usually get the rap for being the warmongers, but the above says to me that while over half of Democrats are ok with violence in Iraq, as long as our soldiers aren’t there, even more are ok with violence in Iraq, as long as it spreads to other countries in the region.
I mean what are the 3% thinking, that violence is acceptable, but more violence is better?
