YOU COULD NUKE 'EM AND AMERICANS WOULDN'T BAT AN EYELASH:

Americans worried about Iran, support direct talks and tough sanctions (Eric Fingerhut, August 28, 2009 , JTA)

A new poll shows that Americans are worried about the nuclear aspirations about Iran and support the U.S. doing anything it can to stop the Islamic republic -- from sanctions to direct negotiations.

The Israel Project poll of 800 registered voters, jointly conducted by the Republican Public Opinion Strategies and the Democratic Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, found that 81 percent believe Iran poses a "very" or "somewhat" serious threat to the United States, and 84 percent agreed with the statement "Even with all the problems that America faces at home now, we must still work hard to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons."
