Iteresting questions in Zogby new poll

[Bandit]

One is should we use diplomacy with terrorist groups and if so could we expect them to honor their word and could we expect the US to honor it's word. I had to answer in the negative for the US honoring it's word as it has a reputation for not doing so.

1. Interesting

so you trust Terrorists group more than you do the United States? Or to put it another way, you would encourage Terrorists groups not to stop their fights against the Untied States, because we can't be trusted.

Or am I reading you wrong?

2. I thought official US Policy toward terror groups was "Bring it on." n/t

[Bandit]

3. I did not say how I answered the question about terrorists

I said how I answered the question about the USA.

4. Ah - I thought it was one question - the way you phrased it was unclear

I apologize.

8. I was commenting on the fact they even asked the question

It was a fairly long poll and had many aspects. I found it interesting that one of the questions was whether the US could be counted on to keep it's word. :shrug: I had to answer in the negative just because of history. The USA is well known for going back on it's word, just ask the Vietnamese or the American Indian.

12. But of course there is no race that hasn't broken treaty after treaty

14. I answered

5. Well, I'll tell you how I answered. I don't think we can trust the

terrorist to keep their word but I also said I didn't trust the administration to keep their's either. There are no good, honorable, trustworthy guys in the whole damn mess. That's why we have the whole damn mess.

10. One thing for sure...we cannot expect Israel to keep its word

as we saw this morning with the airstrikes on Lebanon, proving that Israel lied when promising a 48 hour cessation of attack. And Israel has dragged us into this mess, making it appear as though we are one country instead of two. I resent this very much. Frankly, Israel puts its own interests first and they don't really give a damn what happens to anyone else, including America.

I don't trust Hezbollah (terrorist/freedom fighters) and I don't trust Israel. America is the pawn, the dupe in all of this.

6. I got that poll too

And I answered the same.

We can't trust "US"... Bush proved that.

In cowboy terms, he told Saddam Hussein to "put your hands up, or I'll shoot". Saddam put his hands up and W shot anyway. You just can't trust cowboys like that.

We do need to use diplomacy and we need to be cautiously optimistic when it comes to other groups or countries keeping their word.

Bush is by far the most dangerous and least trustworthy terrorist alive today.

7. I see virtually no difference between the current administration

and the various terrorist organizations. None of them can be trusted to tell the truth or to keep their word.

9. Which best describes why we have seen an increase in military fights...

Which best describes why we have seen an increase in military fights involving non-nation armies:

They are more aggressive because of President Bush's war on terror.
They are angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
They sense that the U.S. has been weakened militarily in Iraq and Afghanistan and cannot respond to outbreaks in fighting elsewhere
It has nothing to do with the U.S.; they just felt the time was right to begin fighting.

11. I actually answered with the first one

I think the major cause of such unrest is Bush*. I think his arrogance is just a lit fuse to a majority of these people.

13. when I saw how those questions were worded I aborted and closed my browser

In the context of us being in this Chimptacracy, "none of the above, because the current regime illegally occupying the Whitehouse is dangerous and incompetent" was not a choice.

The context of the questions wrongly assumed the poll taker trusts our government.
