- The thing that surprised me most about the figures were:
1. How warhungry India and Israel are. While on average, about 20% of the worlds population think the USA ought to attack a country found responsible, it rises to 54% in the USA (as one might expect), but its[sic] a massive 72% and 77% in India and Israel!

- If America goes to war with North-Korea I am absolutely sure that even if North-Korea is likely to loose,[sic] the vast majority of the world will cheer if America gets punched in ways that make Pearl Harbor and September 11th look like Thanksgiving.
That would teach warhungry America a good lesson and make people in most poor countries celebrate.
