The latest poll has opposition to the illegal war in America at an "all time high" of 55 percent, which is more than would vote for either Bush or Kerry right now.
However, all those opposed to the war are left without a candidate. Bush obviously chose to invade Iraq for no particular reason. Kerry voted for the war and even now says he wants more troops in Iraq.
So what are those 55 percent opposed to the war to do in the presidential election? They have no acceptable candidate.
This is clearly a failure of what passes for democracy in the United States of America to achieve democratic representation of a large part of the electorate.
I wonder if Nader could win with 55 percent of the vote.
