1. NK
I don't know if we should attack them, but they are a greater threat because we have made them that way.

2. Is there even an answer to that?
FWIW, it's "Which country poses a bigger threat to the United States?"

Currently:
North Korea 68%
Iran 32%

Velly interesting.....

14. These are the questions CNN asks?? The numbers they show their audience??
Edited on Sun Feb-13-05 12:38 PM by GHOSTDANCER
fuqin sad and scary. It's good that NK is the "bigger axis of evil". Iran is a little too close to the monster, and it is a monster more destructive than a real Godzilla.

3. It should have been worded:
Which poses the biggest threat to the US: N. Korea, Iran, or George W. Bush?

18. Because CNN dotes on binary polls.
Complex answers? No way. They much prefer black & white.

5. Jesus H. Christ
30%+ of the sheeple think IRAN is actually a threat to the U.S.???? Are you fucking kidding me? They're only a threat because of our incessant saber rattling!

17. Iran is only a threat because Israel want us to
fight there wars for them. Or because The NWO wants to open up old trade routes that run from Europe to China right threw Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Just look at a map it easy to figure out whats going on here.

10. That's insanity
We shouldn't attack any country next. We should maintain a defensive posture with a strong military and put forth every effort to promote peace globally. Fuck this neoconcept that we have to attack anybody. If conservatives want to go to war then let them.

11. That is an appalling question, imo
Edited on Sun Feb-13-05 12:29 PM by Spazito
and typical of 'Leslie's' sucking up to the bush admin. Neither country is as dangerous to the US as is the bush/PNAC cabal.

19. I sent a comment to the Right Wing tools at CNN:
It seems to be that you are trying to build a case for Bush and his Right Wing Nuts to invade another country through your poll: "Which country is the biggest threat to the United States?" The biggest threat to the United States is GEORGE W. BUSH. In the interest of appearing fair and in tune with the public, I suggest you reword your poll.

23. Thanks. I'm through being polite to people I don't respect and.
we're not going to win over through facts.

I wonder if they'll read it on the air?

LOL.

24. hope so. Yes, it is strange how they are so impervious to facts
It is like there is this giant secret club and we are not in it. I was thinking -- how the hell do they plan all this this -- the vast right wing? Over the phone? Surely not on paper.

25. Some of it is on paper, such as the grand plans laid out by PNAC
mostly I think they are coached and indoctrinated at conservative "Institutes" and other programs.

The conservatives are infatuated with, and motivated by, power and money. Those that play the game are given admittance to the club.

wars in the world as possible.
