11. this allows for a corrected "approval rating"
Let's give yesterday's march a conservative estimate of 200,000 people (in my opinion, it was probably more than that, but anyway it was a hell of a lot of people).

And so today's "pro-war" activity drew 400.

Now let's take these numbers and treat them as a sample of opinions.

By my math, that works out to be slightly less than .2% approving of the occupation, and therefore a 99.8% disapproval rating for our Chimperor.

How's that for a mandate?
