Not a preemptive strike under any circumstances, but to avert an Iranian nuclear weapon, according to NBC and the Wall Street Journal:
A new NBC News/Wall Street poll released Monday showed that 52 percent of poll respondents said they backed U.S. military action if the Tehran regime is on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon. Forty percent said the United States should not initiate military action if Iran were about to develop a nuclear weapon.
As the New York Times notes this morning, there’s little substantive difference between the candidates when it comes to military options for dealing with Iran. There’s certainly a tonal difference, though, between Mitt Romney’s claim that Barack Obama will allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon and he will not, and Obama’s charge that there has been too much “loose talk of war” recently.

That support will disappear within a few weeks when it ignites a broader war, and results in substantially higher oil prices. The War on Terror was a lot more popular in 2002 than in 2012.
So whos the other 48%? is there so many stupid guys around here?
I think calling him stupid makes you sound stupid. Im not saying i disagree with you, but please explain why he is wrong before calling him stupid
Mr. far-east looks like u’r coming from the far east, could u explain please whom we called stupid??? just read b4 u write.
no i read correctly. A) who is “we”? B) “is there so many stupid guys around here” last i checked that’s not proper english
#5, A person that cannot write a sentence in English correctly does not necessarily make them stupid. English is obviously not his first language. If there were a Hebrew or yiddish site and were attempting to get your point across in a different language, you will most likely make a mistake as well. One who makes personal attacks, is typically a sign of a sore loser
Your right i should not have said that it was mistake. However i was defending myself from a personal attack which is why i didnt think clearly before writing that
The world is about to self-destruct and you people are into grammatical nitpicking and insults. Even if limited to the Middle East (perhaps extending to South Asia), a nuclear war with several hundred bombs going off (and perhaps other weapons of mass destruction) will have many bad outcomes for everyone.
ok relax the world is not about to self-destruct, and even if it is all you can do is just be the best person you can be until it happens c”v….so stop worrying so much
