Americans favor diplomacy on Iran: Reuters poll

Sep 28, 2006 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A majority of Americans want
the United States to increase diplomatic efforts over Iran's nuclear

Iran, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Thursday.

Asked the best course of action for the United States in dealing
with Iran's nuclear ambitions, 45 percent said Washington should join
with allies to increase diplomatic efforts and another 17 percent
said the United States should step up diplomacy on its own.

One in four respondents, 26 percent, said they supported the use of U.S.
ground troops in Iran, while 70 percent opposed it. Nine percent favored
