Ik vraag mij af hoe de amerikanen erin zouden slagen om op een correcte manier zo'n oppiniepeiling te houden. Laten we het houden op propaganda dat een eventuele inval in Iran al moet beginnen verdedigen.

PR Newswire: Iranians Feel America's Presence in the Region Helps Their Chances at Freedom WASHINGTON, June 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Historic Survey Finds Plurality of Iranians Uneasy if Regime Were to Develop
WMD's

A recent public opinion survey of Iranians, conducted by The Tarrance Group,
surprisingly found that a vast majority (74%) of Iranians feel America's
presence in the Middle East will increase the probability of democracy in their
own country. The survey, which was the first of its kind, found two-thirds of
Iranians believe that regime change in Iraq has been a positive for both
neighboring countries: with 66% believing that it served Iran's national
interests, while 65% believed the Iraqi people will, in the long-run, be better
off.

Commissioned by the Iran Institute for Democracy, the survey discovered that a
solid majority (65%) of Iranian adults consider fundamental change in Iran's
system of government, especially its Constitution, a must to bring freedom and
more opportunities to their homeland.

Validating reports of widespread discontent with the clerical regime,
three-fourths of Iranians (73%) support the call for a national referendum
through which Iranians are given a chance to choose the form of government of
their choice. Significantly, almost all Iranians reject their government's
attempts to keep exiled Iranians out of the political and economic equation of
Iran. Fully 84% of all Iranians say Iranians living abroad should have a role
in shaping the political and economic future of their homeland.

Presidential Election:

Regarding the forthcoming Presidential elections, in a troubling sign for the
regime, nearly four of every five Iranians (79%) say that the upcoming
elections should not be held unless they are free, fair and transparent.

While more than 70% of Iranians feel the world is closely monitoring the June
17 election process, in a telling sign, 57% of the population would be inclined
to support a boycott of the elections if conditions for a free, fair and
transparent election are not met.

Demonstrating disinterest in the pool of candidates, only 39% of adults were
able to choose a candidate representing their viewpoint, with Hashemi
Rafsanjani only leading (32%) among those who could identify with a candidate.
Hence, Mr. Rafsanjani only enjoys 13% support among all Iranians, including
those who could not identify an acceptable candidate. That said, when asked to
make a prediction, 42% of all surveyed predicted Rafsanjani would be declared
the winner of elections, indicating a perception of a predetermined conclusion.

Nuclear Issue:

On the nuclear issue, a solid majority of surveyed respondents inside Iran
(60%) feel that the international community's worry about the prospects of
terrorists obtaining weapons of mass destruction is real. Further, a plurality
(42%) says the Islamic Republic gaining access to nuclear weapons would add to
their anxiety, discomfort and inability to sleep comfortably at night, while
only 37% say it would not burden their peace of mind.

Methodology

Commissioned by the Iran Institute for Democracy, the survey was conducted
among N=758 adults age 16+ (voting age) in Iran, from May 26 through June 4,
2005. Sample design, questionnaire design, and data processing were conducted
by The Tarrance Group. Random digit dialing (RDD) was used to generate the
sample, and interviews were conducted via telephone from a call center in the
United States using Farsi-speaking interviewers. The margin of error associated
with a sample of this size of +/- 3.6%, at the 95% confidence level. The
average interview length was 24.6 minutes.

Ik betwijfel of de Jewsa echt wel zo populair is in een streng Islamietische staat als Iran. Ongetwijfeld proberen de neocons de wereld al warm te maken voor een inval in Iran om daar ook nog de oliereserves aan te slaan. Die opiniepeiling is voor mij niks waard, trouwens de Europese belangen worden perfect gediend met het huidige regime van Khamenei.

Grappig. Na de religieuze revolutie van eind de jaren '70 dachten de religieuze leiders dat als er veel kinderen kwamen dat ze een sterke Islammacht zouden worden.

De ironie van deze beslissing is dat nu meer dan 60 % van Iran jonger is dan 25 jaar en deze enkel de tiranie van de religieuze dictatuur gekend hebben. Ze zien de VS als iets positief en de eigen religieuzen als negatief.

De jongeren zullen zich uiteindelijk massaal tegen hun huidige leiders keren, dit is zo zeker als wat.
