Cafe Hayek: The Arab Street: "So have Palestinians become less supportive of violence? My claim is that perhaps they were less supportive of terrorism in the past but it was dangerous to admit that to a stranger doing a survey. Or perhaps they are equally interested now in terrorism as a political tool but now find it inappropriate to say so. Without more information, it is impossible to know. Surveys of people living under tyranny make good copy. But they tell us more about the incentives people face than they really believe." Wait, isn't that true of all public opinion polls tyranny or no tyranny?
