Only 20% of Americans support invading Iran
Just a little reality check, the public is definitely not behind this one.

Bush is insane if he tries to follow through with his saber rattling in Iran. CNN poll shows only 9% favor military action. 78% want the UN to handle any problems, not the US.

1. Early on only a small percentage supported attacking Iraq.
Once the Repug propaganda machine and the corporate media got done it was nearly 50%. Once Busholini attacked Iraq, it was 70%.

The sheeple haven't changed. Expect the neocons to create an "incident" that gets the sheeple in line.

3. same thing happened with You-Know-Who in You-Know-Where and the
Jews--I recall an article here how Germany was less anti-Semitic than France after WWI, but the Nazis stirred the people up into loathing the Jews to the point of extermination. There was also an article on how Germany was really pretty industrialized and the Weimar Republic wasn't at all that corrupt and illegitimate--just painted as such by the NSDAP, and that's remained in the history books evermore.

4. look at the numbers from the week before if you want to be depressed
The week before 9% said military action now
10 days later it's up to 20%

We need to drown out the wardrums now!

5. That must be the 18% who approve of Dick Cheney = a 2% margin of
error.

9. Clinton is tough on Iran

In fact, it was only the other day that John Bolton started talking as tough as her on Iran. It's that kind of talk from Dems that makes the poll numbers supporting an attack increase, not fear-mongering by the Reps - people, finally, have started to question them.
