This is a suggestion for a Jordan Independent poll:

After WW II, the United States led an effort to rebuild and rehabilitate those countries devistated in the military conflict. This was called the Marshall Plan and the United States was the principle author and financial countributer to its success. Do you think a similar effort should be mounted to rebuild Afghanistan and Iraq?

A fishwrapper?!? Seriously?

A fishwrapper?!? Seriously? I wouldn't mind having an open discussion about what made you vote for that choice.

I'm not insulted, don't get me wrong, but I would like some feedback if you think your local paper is not doing a good job. Believe me, I'll try to do better if you let me know what you want.
