>>Perception does mean a lot - you were led to believe so by the spinmeisters. As usual, 90+% of the people just want to be left alone and live their lives in peace (prosperity is welcome but actually optional); the trouble is how to keep the lid on the remainder and keep them below 10%. That's shown historically to be the critical mass to start a war.
I don't think that is accurate now. Even if it were accurate, that 10% sure tries to do a lot of damage to the rest of the world...
Oops - sorry, this was meant to be to Dragan...
