Poll: Americans Support Agreement With Iran

While Rethugs and Likudniks are feverishly trying to scuttle the interim agreement with Iran that would temporarily halt their progress toward nuclear weapons capability, the American public favors the deal by a 2-to-1 majority, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.  Forty-four percent approve of the agreement, while 22 percent disapprove.

Over the next weeks and months, count on seeing the usual suspects spreading misinformation and fear about the agreement.  Already, we're seeing outrageous comparisons to the Munich Agreement by the hardliners who want to steer this country into another war in the Middle East against an Islamic nation.  Many are the same neocons who lied us into the diversionary war in Iraq over non-existent WMD and connections to 9/11, letting al Qaeda gather strength in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere during the Bush Assministration.
