      25% of Americans are lying to themselves about the iraq war (pretending they didn't support it)
      20% of reps, and 30% of dems lied on the poll.
      At the time of Bush's announcement, 72% of Americans supported the illegal invasion of Iraq. 25% opposed it in 2003.

      This means that 25% of Americans are sane, 50% are insane and proud, 25% are insane and ashamed.
      Also it means that 45% of Democrats, and 14% of Republicans were sane in 2003.
