The question: About a third of Massachusetts communities will have a non-binding Iraq resolution on the ballot next month. How would you vote on the Iraq pullout resolution in the election? I am in favor of the resolution: the US should immediately pull its troops out of Iraq. 67.2% I will vote against the resolution. The US needs to keep its soldiers in Iraq. 32.8% Total votes: 1066 In a related matter, US Sen. John F. Kerry tells Huffington Post that he regrets his vote for the war. Globe story here. Writes Kerry: "There's nothing - nothing - in my life in public service I regret more, nothing even close. We should all be willing to say: I was wrong, I should not have voted for the Iraq War Resolution." Posted by David Dahl, Regional Editor at 08:34 AM
