Statistic of the Day

% who believe that using military force is best way to defeat terrorism (using 2004 Candidate support as prism):

Bush Voters: 66% ][ Kerry Voters: 17%


In words, 66% of the those polled who voted for Bush believe that using military force is the best way to defeat terrorists. Whereas, 17% of the people that voted for Kerry agree (i.e. 83% of Kerry voters believe that military force is not the best way to defeat terrorism)

Certainly illustrates the strategic vision gap that divides the country.
