Just curious if the published polls support our little cross section of America. No comments neccessary if you just want to vote - it's annoymous.

i think it is clear how i voted.

i truly think the leaders should duel it out. save the bloodshed of the masses.


this is for real it was in the NYTimes

An Iraqi Offer: Duels, Not War
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 3 (AP) — An Iraqi vice president offered an unusual suggestion today for solving the American-Iraqi standoff: President Saddam Hussein and President Bush and their top aides should fight a duel to settle their differences and spare their people the ravages of war.

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan would be the referee for the duel, which should be held in neutral territory, the vice president, Taha Yasin Ramadan, said in an interview.

Mr. Ramadan gave no sign that he was joking.

Iraq has two vice presidents. Mr. Ramadan did not say whether he or the other one, Taha Mohieddin Maruf, would take on Dick Cheney.

I'll bet if the President ran that one by the American people he'd be in for a shocker!

I think people who support a war have bought the President's story - hook line and sinker - that Sadam Hussein is a big bad buy with his finger hovering over some red button of destruction. What amazes me is that he has offered up absolutely no proof. Even more amazing is that if there were just cause to strike Iraq, it wouldn't be something the White House would feel neccessary to campaign for with the American people. Which is exactly what is happening. Unfreakinbelievable.

I vote for a duel! I'd like to see them have a knife fight, personally.
