Oh, I don't doubt that for a second, Redux. But the thing about ideology is it's usually founded on a set of beliefs and assumptions which are central to the individual's sense of self. It goes deep. That's not to say some people haven't manipulated the landscape a little to make it difficult for people of a different set of beliefs to question/criticise the actions of a government/party/military action. But for most people, ideology is at least as much an emotional commitment as it is a political one.
