Gallup: Americans Don't Like Syria, Iran, N. Korea, but Don't Want War with Them

NEW YORK A new Gallup Poll released today shows that while Americans have very negative opinions of Syria, North Korea, and Iran, by very wide margins they do not want to go to war with them. Still, about 4 in 10 Republicans favor military action against each of the countries.

In the total sample, two in three oppose military action against Iran (66%), Syria (65%), or North Korea (62%).

This comes despite the three countries’ low favorable ratings: Syria (25%), North Korea (12%), and Iran (12%).

As usual these days, sharp partisan splits are apparent. Some 46% of Republicans want military action against North Korea, compared with just 26% of independents and 23% of Democrats. For Iran it breaks down similarly (43%-23%-17%) and Syria(39%-23%-13%).

Support for military action against Iran has declined, however, since January 2002, shortly after 9/11 and President Bush’s “axis of evil” speech. Back then 71% said they would favor taking military action against Iran.

I need to stop being amazed at the idiocy of the repubs! Good to know that the majority of americans are sane and do not want more unjustified war, even though a number of repubs do!

What is especially scary is the number of people who were willing to believe bush and his nonsensical "axis of evil" speech.

As Atrios says, are these people driving their sons & daughters to the recruiting stations?!
