Do they know something we don't?

On NBC last night I heard that there is only one other country in the whole world where the majority of the population (not just the government) supports war with Iraq at this time. In most, around 80 percent are against it.

Do they know something we don't?

By the way, Israel is the other country.

I'm sure this fact doesn't bother some of the more vocal supporters of this war; in fact Bush once referred to the large number of detractors as being "irrelevant". Typical questionable word choice from him btw... almost borg-like ;-) But whether you agree with the impending war or not, that nearly 80% figure should be sobering to anyone who isn't an out and out isolationist.

The majority of the population of the world used to believe:

That slavery was good.
That the Earth was flat.
That the Sun revolved around the Earth.
That the Earth rested on the back of a big turtle.

Just because the majority of the population holds a certain belief doesn't mean it's true...
