OT: Zogby poll of US troops/majority rules

[Guest guest]

Determining what the field thinks about something may or may not reveal

the right course of action, but is not a problem where the process of

deciding remains open. By majority rule, we can go forward. If we see

that any decision is ill-formed, we can reconsider. Civilization goes

forward by allowing all opinions to be expressed; it's stifled by

denial and censorship. If we can go forward with majority decisions,

unified in it's support, then we can clearly see if such decisions were

the best, unfettered by personal agendas. Our ability to use

communication tools to reach professional decisions collectively in a

thorough and timely manner enables us to strategically align ourselves

appropriately. By accepting majority decisions unitedly, everyone will

see more clearly what's right or what needs changing as group decisions

are put into action. We go forward by trusting the process, not by

closing our minds to the group's wisdom.

On a New Poll Of U.S. Soldiers During Their Service in Iraq

A first-ever survey of U.S. troops on the ground fighting a war

overseas has revealed surprising findings, not the least of which is

that an overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops in Iraq think

the U.S. should exit the country within the next year.

Further, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows that

more than one in four (29%) thought the U.S. should pull its troops

immediately.
