There has been a Gallop poll. 80% of the US population will support the use of force, but only AFTER an investigation to find the guys responsible.
We're not stupid. We're not just going to run around the Mideast shooting anything we want. We don't even know who did it at this point. It might not even be Arabs, though my first guess would say it is. In fact my belief is that would only make it 100 times worse. We have somebody angry at us, lets NOT make it everybody.
I can only assume the rest of the world is nervous right now too, because when American is pissed...and we haven't been this pissed off since Pearl Harbor...everyone else can expect nothing but bad news. Even if it means that the world's economy is going to go into a bad slump and your not going to have alot of money for the next few years (Japan and the United States are 40% of the ENTIRE world's market). The Stock Exchanges around the world are already taking a big bellybutton nose dive right now. Gas prices are skyrocketing (God, I hope that's only a temporary knee-jerk reaction).
This whole thing is just bad.
