Americans Back Iraq Airstrikes

A new Pew Research survey finds 54% of Americans say they approve of U.S. airstrikes against Islamic militants in Iraq, while 31% disapprove.

“But while the public backs airstrikes, there is widespread concern about the U.S. becoming too involved in Iraq. Overall, 51% say their greater concern about military action is that the U.S. will go too far getting involved in the situation. Fewer (32%) say they are more concerned that the U.S. will not go far enough in stopping Islamic militants.”
