uhh...
a majority in an issue w/2 sides (either oppose the US in arms or not) is 51% or more. an uprising led by a rogue cleric in a medium sized city is nothing like a majority.
although real bullets are being fired and injuring (and killing) real people... i seriously doubt the military is making it as big of a deal as the media and Bush's detractors want it to be.
