Poll question: Do you know anyone who actually favors a war with Iran?
Do you personally know any person who believes the United States should start a preemptive war with Iran?

3. used to work with defense contractors
these guys are thrilled at the very thought of nuking any country, as well as the idea of "taking out" domestic dissenters.

Thank Zeus I do work for local government clients now.

2. this is about the same ratio as before war with Iraq
I remember clearly-- it was 25% in favor and 75% against. Then what happens, they go anyway and the odd mindset sets in that we have to be good and obedient and not question daddy -- ooops I mean the president.

Instead of being adults and taking responsibility for what leaders do in our name.

4. But they are not people I agree with
I do know people who think the USA should just take over wherever and whomever and whenever they wish. They scare me with their ideas.

5. Yes, but ...
he's in jail in Iraq and charged with war crimes. Now, I also suspect his unindicted co-conspirator: Rummy.

6. One I know
wants to nuke the whole middle east!

I pretty well destroyed his argument and all his other outrageous ideas over a 1 hour phone call a couple weeks ago. Anyways, I am sure there are many of similar mind.

7. Yes
I only know four Republicans. One wants Israel to hit Iran, while the other three want us to attack their nuclear plants or whatever.
