Typical. Most euros would be in favor of a pre-emptive military strike against their rival soccer teams' stadium too.

To be fair, they'll probably get their wish.

How long have they been planning the US invasion of Iran? Has to be at least a few days. Which is longer than they planned the Iraq invasion.

They're also in favor of someone else actually executing the aforementioned pre-emptive strike and someone else removing the current despotic government in favor of democracy.

No blood, please, we're European.

If you can believe it, half of those knuckle-draggers don't believe in evolution:

Britons unconvinced on evolution

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4648598.stm

FTA:
Just under half of Britons accept the theory of evolution as the best description for the development of life, according to an opinion poll.

Furthermore, more than 40% of those questioned believe that creationism or intelligent design (ID) should be taught in school science lessons.

Because trusting the Bush administration with another war is a great idea. Let's see, Iran is about 3x the size and population of Iraq. That means Iran is bound to have THREE TIMES as much good news get left unreported by the Communist media.

"Can I just say that Ahmadinejad has bar none, the worst suits ever. Ill-tailored, boxy on his scrawny frame, farked-up lapels, cheesy-looking fabric. Get thee to Saville Row."

If Arafat had bought a nice suit in 1979, he'd have had a country in 1985.

"I suppose they want the US to pay for it, so when it goes to hell they can blaim us"

Americans should make me their next president. Here's my Iran/nuclear policy: "OK, cool by us. Don't nuke Israel." When Europe started screaming like little girls I'd say, "Hey, you wanted a peaceful, multilateral US, you got it. We're tired of cleaning up your messes and getting protested for it. You don't like Iran going nuclear, you do something about it. Something besides calling us, that is. Try the UN. We're closed." And I wouldn't cave until southern Spain was Islamic again.
