Zogby released a new poll of US troops stationed in Iraq this month. Apart from the not-so-surprising rejection of the administrations new "long war", there was some startling news about the "real" reason troops thought that they had been dispatched to Iraq in the first place. Number one on the list? "Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11"
Personally I believe that this is the reason why Republicans have been so keen on cutting back dollars aimed at education - it hardly serves their purpose of misleading a bunch of kids steeped in the mythology of honor and patriotism.
There are some other interesting results in that poll worth taking a look at...
