Our Senior Fellow John R. Miller makes good sense in The American Spectator with his critique of the Obama Administration's interest in public opinion overseas. It is mostly an abstraction and often misleading.
We all are addicted to polls and "public opinion", I'm afraid. It goes back a hundred years, when the craze began. Theodore Roosevelt once quipped, when asked what he thought of the new concept of public opinion, "I agree. I think the public is entitled to know all my opinions."
