ONCE WERE WARRIORS
Sheesh. Germany loses a couple of wars, and all of a sudden they don’t want to play any more:
Adults in France were more likely to think Iran posed a nuclear threat (34 per cent) than in Germany (30 per cent) and Britain (27 per cent.)
Of those adults surveyed who did believe Iran posed a nuclear threat, 59 per cent said diplomacy was the best way to handle the situation.
Just three per cent said using military force alone was the best course of action. Support for military action was highest in Britain (seven percent) and lowest in Germany (zero percent.)
If nothing else, I guess this disproves the line that a warlike people will only be inflamed by armed response.
