six percent / light in the dark

[Claudia Westermann]

(CBS) Americans are rallying around the flag and want revenge, according to 
a CBS News–New York Times poll released Saturday. They also believe the 
U.S. should return to business as usual as soon as possible.

Nearly all are willing to endure long lines and security checks to prevent 
terrorist acts, and there is a growing sense that the U.S. will have to go 
to war.


Taking Action

Eighty-five percent of Americans say the U.S. should take military action 
against whoever is responsible for Tuesday's attacks. Only six percent 
oppose military retaliation.

About seven in ten support military retaliation even if that means innocent 
people are killed. Almost as many support military action even if that 
meant going to war with a nation that is harboring those responsible for 
the attacks, or the loss of lives of "many thousands" of innocent civilians.
