"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day." -Douglas Adams

I can't figure out what school of thought the CNN commentators are from, or what delusions they operate under, which cause them to think that a 6-4 vote is a landslide. "The polls say that 58% of Americans think the UN is doing a poor job. That speaks clearly: America wants unequivocally to bomb Iraq out of existence." (slightly paraphrased). They always do that. They list polls in which no response even gets up to 50% and then "analyze" how much overwhelming support for this or that is revealed by the polls. We sane people from Earth look at those polls and see deep divisions and tenuous support, not a clear and strong public opinion.
