Given that Americans elected Bush based on, among other things, his
effectiveness against terrorism, I'd say most Americans don't know what day it
is. Most Germans supported Hitler too, so public support doesn't necessarily
mean anything. Sometimes it does, but lots of times it's meaningless.

Subject: [lit-ideas] Hezbollah is our enemy too
According to a pair of Gallup polls released last week, 83 percent of Americans
say Israel is justified in taking military action against Hezbollah, while 76
percent disapprove of Hezbollah's attacks on Israel. Yet when asked which side
in the conflict the United States should take, 65 percent answer: neither side.
Indeed, 3 in 4 Americans say they are concerned that the US military will be
drawn into the fighting, or that it will increase the likelihood of terrorism
against the United States.
Gallup's numbers suggest two things. First, that most Americans, sizing up
the warfare in northern Israel and southern Lebanon, recognize that Hezbollah
is the aggressor and that Israel is fighting in self-defense. And second, that
most Americans believe this fight has nothing to do with the United States.
Welcome to Sept. 10.
Here's an interesting article on America's relationship to Hezbollah. Click
