Poll question: Who here ACTUALLY supports war with Iran?
I must know. Here's a poll. Feel free to be totally anonymous.
If you have a justification you'd like to post as well, I'm listening.

2. The problem with polls is that they are anonymous.
There is at least one DUer who believes all options should be open, but I bet s/he won't be replying with their vote...

3. You forgot to put in "No, but I support enabling actions"
I see that happening more often than outright support- but there are many roads to hell.

4. I didn't want to.
It is what it is. Authorizing war. People need to shit or get off the pot, IMHO.

"No, but I'll support someone who does if they're the Democratic nominee." :eyes:

9. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions".
My mother always said that. I didn't know there was more than one road and my question is: With what are the other roads paved?

11. I always hate that lust is lumped in there with avarice.
:-)

Thanks for making me less ignorant! I have no wish to go to Hell!

32. heh
Only the boring people go to heaven.

Given that fact, the 8 paths to hell I mentioned basically boil down to obsession.

ignorance = obsession with the rightness of your beliefs
lust = obsession with physical pleasure
greed = obsession with wealth
sloth = obsessed with getting a free ride
pride = obsession with your self image
envy = obsession over what others have
wrath = obsession with venting your anger on others
gluttony = obsession with taking more than you need

Mind you, these bleed into each other...but don't all of these remind you of GWB?

And although some were handed to him( wealth, getting a free ride) he sure has held on to them very tightly!

12. I doubt you'd get any openly admitting to supporting war with Iran
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 06:16 PM by kenny blankenship
openly, that is... (regardless of what kind of avatar they show).

One has to be blind, though, to believe that there aren't some among us here who long to hear news that the bombing of Tehran has begun. A few, but they are active.

And then they'd kick back and tell us, "We knew it was inevitable you see."

13. Obviously.
90% of Americans used to support Bush. And I'm willing to bet that accounts for plenty of DUers.

But they'd never admit to it.

45. Oh geez, when the thread was first loading I didn't see the bottom choice
before scrolling down the comments. I followed your link when it said similar results and I was getting nervous thinking it was almost 50/50!

Glad to see that bottom option now!

14. Unless an Iranian
army invades San Francisco or NYC or Houston,Or we are on the receiving end of one of their bombs, why would we even consider going to war with Iran? Iran might do something bad someday isn't a good enough reason to go to war. I find it hard to believe that Ahmadinejad is that suicidal.

33. i'm sure they will draft plenty of rethug children.
i think a draft should START with every member of congress who voted to authorize it and their children and loved ones, then onto the children and loved ones of all the war hawks in the MSM.

35. Not at the present time
If we are to have a war with Iran, we have to be militarily and diplomatically prepared, which is clearly not the case today. Iran is no house of cards like Saddam's Iraq. And it would be foolish to go in with a clear and achievable plan for what to do when we win.

36. Good grief
It appears there's some mind reading going on here. I just KNOW who voted for war with Iran and WHY. Look at the avatars, check the kerning! We know who you are and have ways of making you talk. I've heard of OCD but this is off the hook. This horse has been beaten to death. It has also been buried, dug up and beaten again. Let the poor creature rest. Just a mild observation: we're all entitled to our own views and opinions. What's the point? I ain't gettin' it. If say you WANT war with Iran it proves what? That you secretly are in love with the Iranian Preznit? That you're a closet Anti-Semite? That if you DON'T WANT war with Iran the heavens will open and angels will sing? That you prove your moral superiority as a result? WHAT????

48. How about a "not under the current circumstances" choice?
I certainly don't think there's any reasonable justification for attacking Iran under the current circumstances (in fact I think doing so would constitute a horrendous war crime), but I'm not sure I could say "never," because I don't know what's going to happen in the future.
