Iran is not a nuclear threat...

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Almost six out of 10 adults in Britain, France and Germany say that Iran does not pose a nuclear threat to Europe, according to the findings of a new CNN/TIME poll.
Iran says its nuclear program is nothing for the world to fear and will only be used to generate much-needed electricity. But Washington and the EU fear Iran could use its nuclear plants to produce bombs.
In his State of the Union Address in February, U.S. President George W. Bush named Iran as "the world's primary state sponsor of terror."
He said the United States must "confront regimes that continue to harbor terrorists and pursue weapons of mass murder," citing Iran and Syria.
In February, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said an attack on Iran over its alleged nuclear program is "not on the agenda at this point."
Adults in France were more likely to think Iran posed a nuclear threat (34 per cent) than in Germany (30 per cent) and Britain (27 per cent.)
Of those adults surveyed who did believe Iran posed a nuclear threat, 59 per cent said diplomacy was the best way to handle the situation.
Just three per cent said using military force alone was the best course of action. Support for military action was highest in Britain (seven percent) and lowest in Germany (zero percent.)

Poll: Germany No Threat to Europe
Nearly 8 out of 10 Frenchmen polled said Germany posed no threat to France or to Europe.
Details at 11.
Yeah. They NEED nuclear power, in a country that burns off natural gas at the well head. /sarcasm
.....since they have no oil, of course.
Twenty seven percent in Britain?
Someone really drained the gene pool in europe!
It doesn't say where these six out of 10 "adults" got their intelligence and information from.
The gene pool came to America.
There was a time when polls would have shown most people thought the world was flat but that didn't make the earth flat.
conservatives should NEVER trust polls
Polls are all right but principles and reality are not poll driven.
This poll proves that a vigorous emigration program where all the smart guys are driven out really does work.
Iran is not a nuclear threat...
"Someone really drained the gene pool in europe!"
It started with the Mayflower.
Not a threat until the day after.
They could use a bit of chlorine here and there..
Shades of the 1930's. . . and once again, we'll have to haul their sorry butts out of the fire.
Good. They haven't heard of AZs most recent threat against europe then. But when they do, who do they think he's getting weapons from?
