They are children

Europe: Majority supports strike on Iran

Over half of Europeans would support a preemptive military strike to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, a poll released last week by a London think-tank reports.

A survey commissioned by the pro-business think tank, Open Europe, found that a majority of those surveyed in 18 EU member states including France and Britain, backed military action as an option in dealing with the threat of Iranian nuclear proliferation, while majorities in 9 nations including Germany and Spain were opposed.

This should be a good thing. Unfortuantely, as I said in the title of this post, they are children.

However, the April 4 survey of more than 17,000 Europeans in March conducted by the French polling firm TNS-Sofres found little support for increasing military expenditures to counter or contain the threat.

However, few voters in the EU would be prepared to see cuts in domestic spending to finance higher defense outlays to counter the threat. Only 37 percent of British voters and 23 percent of all EU voters agreed with the statement that, “Our country should spend more on defense and less on other things.”

So, in other words, these children would not want to give up their pretty toys to save their own necks.

Does anyone wonder who they have in mind to start, endure and complete the threat?

If you are one who is wondering, go find a mirror and look into it.
