SurveyUSA has released a number of polls regarding the current situation in the Middle East and the results are very interesting.

56 % disapprove of Bush’s handling of the situation in the Middle East, opposed to 35% approval

84% believe our military needs to stay out of the situation and 52% believe we should keep our diplomats out of it.

69% believe the conflict will spread to other countries in the region (up 3% from last Thursday).

42% believe we are headed towards World War 3

Going through these numbers, it appears that most people feel the situation is very bad and most likely going to get worse. They also feel that with the leadership in our country, we are not able to help resolve the situation. There is no clear answer to what needs to be done right now, which tells you how bad the situation really is.
