Terror Free Tomorrow found 80 percent of Iranians support full inspections and a guarantee not to develop nuclear weapons in return for aid from other countries.
Slightly more than half, however, said they still favor the development of nuclear weapons and think the country would be safer with them. Developing the weapons is considered a "very important" priority for just 29 percent of those polled.

This doesn't make much sense at all. How can 80% "support full inspections and a guarantee not to develop nuclear weapons" while 50% "favor the development of nuclear weapons" and 29% think "Developing the weapons is considered a 'very important' priority"?
Even if the 29% is a subset of the 50% it still doesn't make sense at all.

Exactly! I was thrown by those numbers also... How can 80% percent support no nuclear weapons, and 50 percent support it? It doesn't add up at all.
