In reply to a Stone Harbor spouter concerning our Middle East in

Ocean City - In reply to a Stone Harbor spouter concerning our Middle East involvement, who cited polls strongly opposed to such meddling there, and then remarked, "Our leaders cannot continue to ignore their citizens' wishes:" First, it is foolish to trust polls. We need leaders who are hopefully better educated in the politics and history of the Middle East than the average citizen. The polls were opposed to our involvement before both World Wars. Almost 340,000 of our finest died in those conflicts, but, at least for awhile, we made the world a better place. Learn from history, not polls.
