Poll: 54% say U.S. should strike militarily if necessary to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons

Voters talk tough on Iran's nuclear program.

In new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 54% say U.S. should strike militarily if necessary to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Support reaches 62% if U.S. joins international coalition.

Military officials warn a successful strike might only set back Iran's program, not halt it, and prompt Iranian retaliation in Iraq. But "even people who are for troop withdrawals" from Iraq back military action through a coalition, says Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who conducts Journal/NBC survey with Republican Bill McInturff.

Though Independents and Republicans would back unilateral strike, Democrats are opposed.

Isn't Iraq already worse enough? Apparently not. It's disturbing that the same Americans (and others) once believed Saddam possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction are now believing that Iran is going to develop a nuclear weapon. We all know that's what will be claimed in a later stadium.

Pure ignorance.

considering the fact that most americans wouldnt know where Iran is or let alone know the history or even taking a piss what happens outside their homes/country,
no offence to the americans on this board

This particular poll was taken of Fox watching arm chair warriors...
Dont pay any attention to it.

Yeah, 54% of americans are buying the bull## lies they are fed by their government. Who gave Iran nuclear technology in the first place? You guessed it, the US of A. God bless America!

I dont really blame the people, lets face it if you keep repeating the lie eventually people will belive it. Onthe other hand what the poll result would be if you told them the truth?

The only people that REALLY care about what Iran is doing is Israel. Other than Iran selling oil in Euros and starting the stampede of other countries to do this.. the USA shouldn't kowtow to Israel and the Israel Lobby any longer.

First world economies have already been destroyed by liberalism and debt spending and now in order to prop them up the scam is to prop up Israel and force every country in the world to kowtow to the federal reserve. We made a mistake in WWII.
