Talk:Views on the 2003 invasion of Iraq

Untitled
I removed this statement for the moment: Following Powell's address, polls show an increase in support within the US.

I googled for polls to support this, and I didn't see any polls. I think it's believable, but I'd be more comfortable if we had a reference and precise numbers before and after. I think precise numbers would be important to hint whether or not the numbers are statistically significant. Loisel 21:19 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC)


 * it's linked at the bottom of the page, with the exact numbers. It's the CNN/NBC poll.

THE ARTICLE IS TOO LARGE TO BE ACCESSED BY MANY BROWSERS AND WILL HAVE TO BE BROKEN UP INTO SECTIONS. JTD 01:43 Feb 16, 2003 (UTC)

The text originally contained on this page has been broken up among the articles it links to. - Montr&eacute;alais 05:08 Feb 16, 2003 (UTC)

- I found in lookjapan the statement about Japanese public opinion about War on Iraq.


 * "In a telephone poll conducted by Kyodo News in early February nearly 79% of respondents said they oppose a U.S.-led military attack on Iraq. Just 15.5% expressed support." (Feb 20)

Does anyone know a good place to mentioon about this? -- Taku 06:08 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)


 * The White House? JTD 06:37 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)


 * You kidding right? While I completely agree with you, I meant a good article to mention. -- Taku 06:44 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)

(I was being ironic!!!)


 * I'm afraid the poll result is worthless unless we know the question they asked. Depending on the conditions the respondent is supposed to assume, there can be up to a FIFTY PER CENT VARIATION in the reported level of support, e.g. if there is a UN Security Council veto and US goes in anyway, espect numbers to be low, but if the UN Security Councill supports a new resolution..
 * Iraq crisis, 2003 is the new top level article and focuses on likely impacts. If you like, add 'US-Japan relations' as a potential impact of the crisis, and use this as evidence.

Are you saying we cannot conclude public opinion in Japan is largely against War in Iraq? I just wanted a sentence like this. -- Taku 07:00 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)
 * YOU may conclude, claim, write and defend this sentence. On the basis of this one poll, I won't.  Perhaps peace marches, other polls, positions of politicians, etc., can be taken as a whole to back up your conclusion.  But don't make such conclusions from one poll whose question we just don't know.

Disambiguation?
This is labeled as a disambiguation page, but that is clearly not what it is: what is being disambiguated? Nor is it an article. It looks to me like it is looking to become a series template. Is there any reason not to turn it into one? -- Jmabel | Talk 07:07, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * I was thinking the exact same thing, I'm not sure about a series template though because this article provides a good one to link to to reach all the others -- Joolz 11:02, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Pro?
Theres American, World, Opposition and Other views, but no specific Pro war section. I feel that the neutrality of this article is in question, as it does not fully represent Pro War opinions. (User:EatAlbertaBeef 30 April 2005. Sig added)
 * Well, it's basically a list of articles. If you feel that there are articles that deserve mention and aren't here, add them. I haven't seen any sign of anyone deleting any links to existing articles. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:48, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

"Euston Manifesto" sits oddly
The material about the Euston Manifesto sits oddly here. I would suggest that it be handled differently, though I don't have a specific suggestion. - Jmabel | Talk 04:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
