    If you ask me the only opinions that should matter are the opinions of those that vote. I don't think the turnout in the last election matches these stats. If you choose not to vote, your opinion does not matter.

    I agree with this. I think a sizeable percentage of the population opposes Bush's Iraq policy, but if you didn't vote, you don't have a right to complain. I would be interested to see which percentage of voters who voted for Bush still support him or are now wavering. I would predict a very healthy majority still do as I think he won their vote not on the strength of any foreign policy but rather moral values. If you take that out of the approximate 50-51% of the popular vote which he won (right?), I don't think much has changed really.
