Thanks to the left-wing media and the Democrats, half of the American public has no stomach for a ground war.
However, most of America still LOVES a good air war.

This is priceless. Priceless.
Well, I wonder is Mr. Schumer has seen this poll. After all, he and his colleagues reside in the "mainstream" of American thought and customs, don't they?
Those that opposed the invasion in Iraq have to consider what our position would today if we had to move on Iran with Sadaam Hussein still in power.
Right... the Democrats will be for the strike before they're against it.
Moving on to more important matters, we now know exactly where the blood spatters were in the cruise ship cabin of the missing fiance
But that would require thinking, which is a terrible burden on those that have eschewed thinking for feeling.
update: newly wed
I am starting to have faith in Americans again.
you mean 57% of them
What the American people would like to see is a total conquest of the Iranian regime. Americans view Iran (and probably Saudi Arabia) as the source of Islamic terrorism and fundamentalism.
If you want to calm Iraq and most of the Middle East, neutralize Iran and Syria.
The recent call for sanctions against Iran in reaction to its restarted nuclear program is incredibly hypocritical (Jan. 23). Why are the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom allowed to possess nuclear energy while Iran is denied the same right? I understand the fear that Iran might produce nuclear weapons, yet all the nations seeking sanctions against Iran possess nuclear weapons of their own. If we are going to demand that Iran not have a nuclear weapons program, we should dismantle our nuclear arsenal as well.
If we are so concerned about nuclear weapons in the Middle East, why have we rejected the Egyptian and Saudi call "that the whole Middle East - including Israel - be declared a nuclear-free zone" (Jan. 17)? Is it any surprise that Iran would want to develop nuclear weapons when Israel possesses such weapons and is capable of reaching Iran with them?
If we want to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weaponry, the first step is to disarm the nuclear arsenals of the nations Iran most fears - Israel and the United States.

From a letter to the editor in the Philadelphia Inquirer. I wonder how many letters they had to sift through to get to one that echos their view.

But have they confirmed that it's Smith's blood??
Ross Kleinstuber lives in a make-believe world. Idealism over realism is, in effect, the quickest route to failure.
I think we all know that Saddam's Iraq would be right where Iran is today if he had not been toppled.
57% would support military action against Iran? Today? Well, we also know just about how far that percentage would drop when the going got tough. The weaklings would come out of the woodwork again.
That question is good for another 30 shows
