Europeans Refuse to Back US Strike on Iran.



TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- A poll conducted in five European countries and the US found inconsiderable support for the use of military strikes against Iran to halt its nuclear program.

The Harris Interactive Survey said using force against Iran is backed by just 8 percent in France, 7 percent in Germany, 8 percent in Italy, 8 percent in Spain, 11 percent in the UK and 21 percent in the US.

Diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving Iran's nuclear case were supported by 50 percent in France, 51 percent in Germany, 52 percent in Italy, 53 percent in Spain, 44 percent in the UK and 36 percent in the US, the poll showed.

The US and some of its western allies claim Iran's program is aimed at developing nuclear weapons, but they don't have any corroborative document to prove their allegations. Iran says it wants the technology to generate electricity. The US has refused to rule out a military response.

A majority in all six countries surveyed backed a withdrawal of US and other coalition troops from Iraq. Ninety percent of French nationals support an Iraq pullout, as do 75 percent of Germans, 82 percent of Italians, 84 percent of Spaniards, 82 percent of UK nationals and 67 percent of Americans.

The poll was conducted for France 24 television and the Paris-based International Herald Tribune newspaper Oct. 3-15. It surveyed 6,645 people aged 16 to 64 in France, Germany, Spain, the UK and the US and aged 18 to 64 in Italy. Harris did not specify margins of error.

Hasn't the Gerbil team figured out they are the only ones standing alone on Iran?
