Majority of Americans Support Military Action to Prevent Iran from Developing Nuclear Weapons
ADL | April 13, 2005

A majority of the American people support military action by the United States and Israel to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons as a last resort, according the Anti-Defamation League's 2005 American Attitudes Toward Israel and the Middle East, a public opinion survey of 1,600 American adults conducted March 18-25 by the Marttila Communications Group.

When asked, "Do you think America should take military action to stop Iran from developing or trying to develop a nuclear weapons program," 53% said yes; 37% said no. When asked whether Israel should take military action to stop the Iranian nuclear program, 51% said yes, 34% said no.

"The findings are important, less for its prescription for any particular policy than for the recognition by the public of the serious danger inherent in Iran's Islamic regime achieving nuclear capability," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "This is a clear message from the American public that strong action is imperative in this matter. It should inform the Europeans that this is no time for procrastination, that UN sanctions against an uncooperative regime are needed, and that a military option, while only a last resort, is an acceptable option."

The findings on the Iranian question, however, do not correspond to American opinion on the broader issue of a pre-emptive strategy. By a margin of 58% to 32%, the public opposes a pre-emptive action when it is not clear that there is an immediate threat to America's national security.

The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8

Majority of Americans also think that Iraq had direct involvment in 9-11.

Why do I find contradictions in the post itself?

Where is the "Last Resort" part in the second paragraph?
I am thinking there is a little spin going on there.... No?

majority of dumb americans think that. (this is empirically observable)

c'mon quit pickin' on the retar....uhhh...."lesser" people.

another recent misleading headline: US has no exit strategy for iraq, rumsfeld says

2nd paragraph:

"We don't have an exit strategy, we have a victory strategy,'' Rumsfeld told soldiers

I have been spending a lot of time flying lately. Despite my tendancey to avoid people it puts me in very close contact with your average person. I have come to the conclusion that people should have to pass a test and get licensed to reproduce, or possibly breath.

What a shame it is that most people are not as smart as you.

Has nothing to do with intelligence and more to do with being completely absorbed in their own little world.

The majority of Americans can barely tie their own shoes and think that the earth is 10,000 years old because jesus says so. This country is not fit to govern itself.

And canadians know how to ties their shoes but they can't figure out how to use paypal..... :mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :mumble:

I'm becoming more of an equal opportunity hater every day.

It's strange... I commented the other day to a co-worker that he has a general charity but a specific hatred for humankind. That is, he has faith in people on the whole, but despises almost everyone he meets in person.

I'm discovering that I'm quite the opposite.

WOW I never knew Canucks were so conceited.

That describes me pretty well. I need human contact but I can't stand most humans. People used to consider me a really nice guy, and the people that actaully know me still do, but Ive come to prefer that most people think I am mean so they won't bother me. I have some serious anger managment issues as well.

I don't know if Koffee got the impression that I am canadian... I'm not, Im just very comfortable with self hatred.

 

[koffee]

it was more of a general observation. Canadians act as if they have some sort of perfect government.

It's thinking like that which virtually ensures another Republican will win the next election.

So sayeth Damn True.





DT has been putting up quite a bit of snarky one liners lately. I was inspired to try one too.


So guys was it any good?

If this works out I may just respond to everything with one liners.

If your point of view can be narrowed down to single sentences I say go for it. If that doesn't work you could always go for the N8 style article linking. That takes less originality but much more groundwork.

can you imagine taking that photo w/ mr peapody in the wayback machine to the founding fathers?

"hey guys, lookit our 44th president! whatcha think?"

(followed by very uncomfortable silence)

 

[dan-o]

I think Thomas Jefferson would mutter something like "I'd hit it".

pfffft. are you high? you think those same right wing religeo folks who helped re-elect bush will vote her in?

most of them may vote for a black male. most of them may vote for a white female. most of them surely wouldn't vote for a black female. i certainly could, but not condi rice. she's nearly as bad a public speaker as her boss, and have you watched her getting questioned about anything? the lady can't handle pressure well at all.

way too many racist and mysogynistic types still stuck in those mindsets to actually elect condi.

girl hit too many of the branches falling out fo the ugly tree, but that's another discussion.

 

[ioscope]

First it was Tewwor
Then Talibanistan and the Bin-laden guy
Next comes Iraqistan and that christmas present we got on TV
FInally we have made it to Irania



Yayyyy!

War number 4!!!
yayyy

Yeah, your parents were so-so...

another recent misleading headline: US has no exit strategy for iraq, rumsfeld says

2nd paragraph:

I read that also. Notice that Rumsfeld sounds alot like Stalin from the old days of communism. I hate the schmuck. But did you also read about the possible bases in Iraq that the new president is considering?

 

[Joe]

I wonder if they informed the poll subjects when they asked the question about the situation of Iran? Therefore their decision would be mis-guided. Do the majority even know where Iran is? ffs, the survey is hardly reliable.

Even the white house has said they arent seeking military action, it would be too damaging and stupid as Iran has friends, who knows ww3?

Condi is also a very ambitious woman, i dount she is a bad public speaker, she has got to where she has afterall. Even if i disagree with her agendas
