‘Military Action’ is a vague concept and covers a vast array of possible actions. Had the poll asked ‘Are you in favor of the slaughter of innocents?’ the response would likely have been much much lower. There are those Americans who believe in an eye for an eye. I find myself scoffing at the Taliban spokespeople crying about innocents injured or killed in light of the 6000 innocents killed in New York and Washington. There are also those who believe in ‘acceptable losses’ in military action, a small number of civilian casualties during an attack on a nearby military structure. If you are attempting to argue that violence should not be met with violence, let’s say I punch you in the face. You get up and make your peace and I punch you down again. How many times are you going to argue for peace in light of direct harm done to you before you retaliate?America has long been placed in the position of the world’s peacekeeper: we take crap from other countries when without our protection those countries could easily be invaded. It’s easy to whine about a peacful solution when you are not the responsive party.
