Poll shows voters split over whether there will be a military conflict between the two countries over Tehran’s nuclear program

A Poll Position survey shows that voters are almost evenly split over whether there will be a military conflict between the two countries over Tehran’s nuclear program: 40% said it is likely, 39% said it is unlikely. About 20% did not have an opinion.

The poll shows that opinion on whether there will be an attack breaks down along political lines with a majority of supporters of the Republican party – whose presidential contenders have been strongly critical of Barack Obama’s emphasis on diplomacy with Iran – saying there will be a conflict. A majority of Democrats disagree.

“Republicans see a conflict most possible with 57% saying one is likely, 25% said a conflict is unlikely,” said Poll Position. “Democrats differed with 54% seeing a U.S. military conflict with Iran unlikely, 22% believe a conflict is likely.”

1. Unless Iran does something really stupid like striking one of our two carriers in the region, no.

Israel knows better. Obama knows better. He's not immediate threat and he's scared all to Jesus so far Muhammad is taking a dump with a Penthouse magazine. Obama won't make the first move. He's got too much advantage to lose it with an insignificant strike.

2. Does anybody else remember an America which vowed never to

start a war?

John F. Kennedy, 1963 ....

"The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough--more than enough--of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it."
