WASHINGTON · A narrow plurality of likely voters in Florida thinks the United States was not justified in waging war in Iraq and should bring its troops back home within a year, according to a new statewide poll.

The poll, commissioned by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Florida Times-Union, reflects drooping public support for the war policy nationwide, with opinions sharply divided by gender and political party.

Editors Note:

This must be disqualified as an ant-war commentary as it is missing the moral authority qualifier “Sheehan, the mother of a soldier slain in Iraq” Please make the proper corrections

Sun Sentinal MANURE.

They divide the groups up into so many nuances BUT leave opposition as one unit.

Is it any wonder the symbol adopted for "bring the troops home" is a white ribbon? (aka surrender flag.)

I bet they did not survey the VFW or American Legionares.

I don't know. Florida's got lots of seniors and I can see the old fuddy-duddies voting against the preemptive war on terror, because they know that they'll soon be pushing up daisies and thus don't care what happens in 20 years if terrorism is left unchecked.

Well some of us old fuddy-duddies that vote served in Vietnam and my son is serving in Iraq. Our service gives you the right to express your opinion no matter your insanity. If you really want to contribute and support the country sign up!!!!
