FOX News Poll Gives Interesting Insights

The latest Opinion Dymics poll commissioned by FOX News has some good news for President Bush, but more importantly the details in the poll provide some insight into the political opposition in America.

The poll shows that 52% of those polled responded that the world would be worse off and 59% responded that Iraq would be worse off if Saddam were still in power. Look into the numbers, however, and a startling number jumps out: 41% of Democrats believe the world would be BETTER OFF with Saddam in power (interestingly, only 29% of Democrats believe that Iraq would be better off). The time has come for Republicans and supporters of this military action to challenge Democrats on this belief. If (1) Saddam did not possess WMD, (2) the U.S. was unjustified in going into Iraq to remove Saddam, and (3) the world would be better off with Saddam in power, then the people who believe this should be called on to demand the only logical remedy: the U.S. should leave Iraq and reinstate Saddam to power immediately. Perhaps a vote on a Congressional resolution is now in order:

It is the sense of the House of Representatives and the Senate that (1) the Iraqi government under the regime of Saddam Hussein did not possess WMD, (2) the United States was mistaken and unjustified in taking military action against the Iraqi regime and (3) the world would be better off with the regime of Saddam Hussein in power, and therefore, the deployment of United States forces in Iraq should be terminated and the regime of Saddam Hussein reinstated to power as soon as practical.

With Saddam's continued insistence on his rightful claim to the Iraqi presidency and the constant complaints from the left about the justifications for and consequences of the war, this should be an easy vote for Congress.

UPDATE: I suggest we replace number (3), which is only supported by 41% of Dems, with "80% of Iraqis want the U.S. to leave Iraq."
