I just completed a bizarre and disturbing Zogby poll. The poll asked under what conditions would it be ok for the US to use a nuclear weapon on Iran. It also asked what other kind of action against Iran would be acceptable, airstrikes? invasion? occupation? Would it be better to go it alone, or with the Europeans? Israelis? UN?
Should I be more troubled by the fact that my government is considering using a nuclear weapon weapon against Iran or the fact that they are asking me my opinion so they can sell it in the State of the Union?
Same poll, lots of questions about using nuclear weapons against North Korea.
Same poll, questions about would I be willing to give up certain civil rights in the event of a war with Iran.
Would I agree to random searches? Would I agree to random road block and submit to vehicle searches? Would it be OK for the government to listen to my phone calls?
Has anyone else seen this poll?
Is it beyond surreal that our government has a poll in the field on the acceptability of nuclear war?
