His map is basically the third world and below. The theory is not that different from what NDD has been saying about Mexico, which is that you want to improve conditions to improve stability.

Duh!

Skipper,
It was written a little while ago and there are some things I would add as well. Probably needs to be updated, but I like the terms and concept.

Well done NDD ! :lifter

I'd be curious as to the survey itself - who did the asking, how were the questions worded , was it done verbally or was it written, how random was the sample etc

Thanks for the heads up...I'll get the book. Do you have additional resources at your finger tips that I can read?

To be honest, they're not well informed. Iraq and A-Stan only get tiny mentions at the back of even the best newspapers. Furthermore, the 'general media' have been heavily anti-war over here, and are very, very anti-Bush.
It's a confused population, at my reading.

What's on the front page?

Somewhat unrepresentative, but Britain's largets selling paper:
