Gallup poll confirms majority of Americans favor diplomacy with Iran

[rpannier]

According to a recent Gallup poll, 59% of Americans think it is a good idea for the President of the United States to meet with the President of Iran, and 67% support meeting with the leaders of countries considered enemies of the United States.

For months, the presidential campaigns and members of Congress have focused on the question of whether to negotiate with countries hostile to the United States. This poll indicates a strong majority of Americans prefer a US policy characterized by engagement with other countries rather than one that pursues diplomatic isolation. A recent University of California-Berkeley poll reflecting IranianAmericans' views showed strikingly similar results, with 66% supporting diplomacy with Iran.
Among those polled during Gallup's May 19-21 survey, 71% of Democrats and 58% of Independents favor discussions with Iran. Nearly half of all Republicans support negotiations with Iran as well.

5. OK, that means we should bomb the ever-living-shit out of Iran to spite the populace.

Bush is good at spiting America.
