More Polling on Lebanon --

Since Gallup seems to make content such as this subscriber-only after the first day, I'll stick it here for perusal and so that I have a record of the numbers while I get a new printer.

33% of Americans say that Israel is completely justified in whatever it does in Lebanon, while 50% say that Israel is justified, but went too far.

31% say that the U.S. shoud take Israel's side, while 65% say that the U.S. should stay neutral. Those who say that we should take Israel's side include 50% of Republicans, 23% of Independents, and 25% of Democrats.

Most people are concerned that U.S. will be drawn into the conflict, that the war will broaden beyond the region, or that the threat of terrorism will increase.
