A majority of people in 31 different countries not only oppose military action against Iran, they oppose economic sanctions as well. In fact, 14 percent of people do not even believe diplomatic efforts should be employed to discourage Iran’s nuclear program. The United States is one of only two countries where a majority of people support economic sanctions or military strikes. The other is South Korea. That means Israel, Australia, and a number of our closest allies all shirk at exerting even modest pressure to ensure Iran does not manufacture nuclear weapons. Predictably, the poll suggests the NIE report is to blame for these poor figures.
