New poll reveals 52% americans favour military strikes on Iran

The way things are going, America will start looking like Iran. So would you propose the EU to nuke America before America starts attacking other countries?

Yes.

And then the UN can bomb us.

It all works out in the end :)

Why can't Iran have nukes? Even if they did use them they know they would be obliterated.

Ahh...mutually assured destruction used to work sooo well. Now, the enemy actually wants to die in order to kill you.

On topic, it's amazing how everyone in the middle of this country thinks the US is above international law....amazing. I really just hope things stay quiet and calm until the nut-job is out of office.
 
And you think invading the country would make it more stable? Just look at Iraq to see how successful that was.

Iraq could've been more successful where it not for our military commanders agreeing to just send in 140,000 troops into a country of 20 so million.

Hasn't America also vowed to destroy Iran if they develop a nuclear weapons?

No, but invade, not certainly but plausible.

Stern is from Canada. I didn't address him because he'll never stop; and now that I think about it nor will anyone else here as the mindset that America is filled with dumbasses is so ingrained into the pompous heads of most forumites here.

**** it.
 
Stern, I don't care if it is illegal. It would be necessary.

Let me point out that I'd only support an attack if they were developing Nuclear missiles, which is what 52% of Americans seem to believe, a clause you left out of your thread title.

Nuclear weapons threaten our world. The countries that do have them should make a binding agreement with each other to stop other countries developing them and to decommission them themselves. And to never ever use them.
 
iran have said that there are not aimed to make a bomb

so if they have a bomb I say lets blast them

but since they have claimed they are doing it and responded all the petitions of the nuclear worldwide associationg stuff then well let them

though to be honest I dont trust too much in iran
 
Stern 80% of americans are retarded. This just proves 52% of americans are crazy-retarded. I MUST GET OUT/

Hey Qon, mind if I join you? I too am getting sick of the "hurr hurr America dumb" sentiments on this board.

You know what, guys? I personally think you're retarded too. The poll asked if they would support an attack if it turned out Iran was developing nuclear weapons. I fail to see what's so crazy about that, and I bet over half of you wouldn't even explain yourselves. This is a legitimate concern, and just because we are embarrassing when it comes to certain things does not mean we are a nation of retards unable to get anything right. There's pointed, justified criticism of the United States and then there's shameless bandwagoning. This forum seems too preoccupied with the latter.

You've got a good point. :cheers:

Problem: Despots don't want nuclear weapons in order to publically claim that they will not use them.
 
Also, Qonfused, please don't mistake my post for America bashing. I was simply pointing out that saying English people are constantly bashing America when some of the bashers are nto from England is stupid.
 
Because one dumbshit instantly makes what I posted void.

Cool.
 
British people are in no position to bash Americans for being stupid, Britain is full of idiots.

You don't even live in it :/

Britians okay to live in. And it's culturally more intelligent than America. Our books have more sophisticated names and what not.
 
I actulaly don't hate britain that much. Since I don't live in a city, I don't have that much chav problems, and most things are fine.
Still, some areas of Britain are might as well be tips.
 
Gotta love the US's foreign policy.
"You can't have nukes! Only we can have nukes!"

Hah! You're books might have more sophisticated names but that doesn't help your Research and Developement lacking behind ours and Chinas.

As for more culturally intelligent ... I call bullshit on that one also where 700+ people were beaten following the 2005 Subway/Bus bombings in London. Ignorance. At. Its Finest. Good sir.

I'm pretty sure he was sarcastic. Plus, the misspelling of "your" kinda nulls everything in your post about intelligence.

D:

Btw, that was sarcastic too.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, but comparing the United States or Soviet Russia to insane, medieval theocracies is stupid. You know why the Cold War never bloomed into a nuclear hell? Because for all their faults, both sides behaved rationally in wanting to prevent getting blown the **** up. But MAD only works if the players involved are sane. All it takes is one loon to throw a wrench into the arrangement and **** everybody over.

Would the conflicts between India and Pakistan be good enough for you? I mean both of them have nuclear weapons, one of them is Islamic and under martial law, as of today, and yet nukes weren't used. Although Pakistan isn't under sharia law, many provinces do want to implement it.

I still don't think the president of Iran would use nukes either, even if you might think he is insane, because of his beliefs. Why do you think Iran would attack Israel, knowing, full well, that he and his country would be obliterated soon after. I just don't think he would give up all that power he has right now, for Israels destruction. It's the same reason you don't see people like Osama Bin Laden blowing himself up for his cause, since he is in a state of power, which he wouldn't want to give up. So it might not just be "rational thinking" that keeps two countries from blowing eachother up, but power can do the same thing.

Now if he were to hand of some nukes to a terrorist organization that might be a different story. Just don't expect it to be Al-Qaeda since Al-Qaeda is sunni and Iran is Shi'ite.

Oh. Oh god ... I. Will solemnly lurk back into my dark corner, silent and ashamed. :( (EDIT: We need a sad panda face.)
 
Once again, these polls are baseless. You cannot claim that 52% of America favors war with Iran when only 1,028 people were polled at random by telephone. 52% of the people polled at random by telephone may believe that, but it is not an accurate representation of America as a whole. We're talking about 300 million people or more, not 1,028 people picked in random demographics and locations across the U.S. I'm sick of these polls and I'm sick of you titling your threads and posts as if stuff like this accurately reflects American views as a whole, Stern. These polls mean nothing and if you think they're accurate, you're an idiot.

As a few others have said, enough with the "durr I'm American" bullshit. There are so many anti-American people on this board it's crazy. Guess what? There are ****ing stupid people in England, Canada, France, Sweden, Australia, The Netherlands, and the WORLD. Enough America bashing. For the most part, people in America hate the current administration as much as you do, and we have to live with it every day. You don't even live here. We have a religious right wing in this country and that is where all of you get your impression of what the typical American is like. It's NOT like that. I don't think that every Englishman talks in a cockney accent and has jacked up teeth. I don't think that every Frenchman is rude, doesn't wear deodorant, and is a coward. I don't think every person from New Zealand has sheep in his backyard. I don't think that all Irish people are ill-tempered and drink non-stop. YOU need to stop thinking all Americans are mindless, bible-thumping followers of the the media and President Bush. And Stern, be more responsible with your thread titles and subjects please. I like coming to this site, but I hate reading the rampant, bandwagon bashing of people you don't even know and a country you've never been to. Enough already.

The UK as a whole is no better, we have the same popular culture. I'd rather live in America than Britain.

Culturally it's not anymore intelligent than America, intellectual America is just as sophisticated as intellectual Britain. Idiot America is as stupid as idiot Britain.
 
How media serve the government purpose with poll.

If this government wants to justify Nazis, Pew Research also can produce a similar poll:

Here is an imitation of the news of Pew Research poll about torture. I replaced the words torture with "Nazis".

Imitation:
"Most Americans approve Nazis (original word torture)

A survey by the Pew Research Center in October showed that 15 percent of Americans believe Nazis is “often” justified, and another 31 percent believe it is “sometimes” justified. Add to that another 17 percent who said it is “rarely” justified, and you have two out of three Americans justifying Nazis under certain circumstances. Only 32 percent said it is “never” justified, while another 5 percent didn’t know or refused to answer. "
