Support of the war was in the 70 percentile and those who opposed it (no it wasn't 100-70=30, because 15% did NOT HAVE an opinion). That makes 15% of the public who disapproved of the war. In this country, the MAJORITY win. Just like the MINORITY of individuals who don't want me praying before a football game are getting ready to have their bubbles busted as well. Spit
