CNN Poll: Do you think past US policy caused 9/11?
Yes: 63%
No: 37^
This is what Guiliani got so outraged about. He said he had heard alot of crazy reasons for the attacks but never this one. Well, Rudy, it looks like you're a little behind the curve on this one. Rudy, you owe Mr. Paul an apology. When the towers were hit, it (our past policies) was the first thing that crossed my mind.

1. When the dim son told America "they hate us for our freedoms"
I thought, "Oh hell, no one is dumb enough to believe that!" Sadly, I was wrong.

3. Who hated our freedom was never really discussed.

2. Honestly, you'd have to be a complete moron to think anything else.
I think we all know its not because "they hate us for our freedom". They hate us because of our interference in their affairs and our outright theft of their natural resources. There IS no other rational explanation.

4. Well, the American public seems to run about 35% moron.
This poll result is within the margin of error for that.

5. I think this is a push to blame it on Clinton once again...
My take on it... Why don't they specify -which and who's- past policy?

7. CNN polls are all poorly worded
but this one at least provides an alternative to "They hate us for our freedoms!" so let's get rid of our freedoms.

6. Is this just another way to say "it's all Clinton's fault?" That is sure what it sounds like to me.
It is not Bush's fault - he was prez for only 9 months - so it has to be all Clinton's fault.

I'm not going to vote, because it sounds like a trick question.

12. That's how Conservative News Network will spin it
if the majority of votes are yes. Considering CNN's track record, I'm convinced it was a trick question, so I didn't vote either.

13. Sounds like a loaded question
The truth is that lots of factors caused 9/11, so we shouldn't play the blame game.

14. Poll no longer up at CNN. Now the question is whether you'd like to live in a castle?
