Can I say that there is possibly nothing that annoys me more than the referencing of public opinion polls when it comes to foreign policy? I don't give a god damn shit what the average person thinks when it comes to foreign policy - that's like asking what the average person thinks when it comes to running a fortune 500 business - or hell any business - the average citizen is a fucking moron when it comes to complex esoteric problems like those that vex foreign policy. One can legitimately argue about what that means when it comes to the efficacy of democracy etc etc - but the fact remains that the average citizen does not have a clue what the hell they're talking about when it comes to foreign policy and therefore polls are meaningless when it comes to making decisions - which is exactly why Obama and his minions often reference public opinion when trying to defend their god awful foreign policy - if you're wrong best to ask for blessings from those too stupid to realise just how wrong you are.
