International poll shows opposition to U.S. strike
ZURICH (Reuters) - International public opinion opposes a massive U.S.
military strike to retaliate for suicide attacks on America by
hijacked aircraft, according to a Gallup poll in 31 countries whose
results were released on Friday.
Only in Israel and the United States did a majority favour a military
response against states shown to harbour terrorists, the survey found.
People questioned elsewhere preferred to see suspected terrorists
extradited and put on trial.
"Around 80 percent of Europeans and around 90 percent of South
Americans favour extradition and a court verdict. By European
comparison, calls for a tough military response were above average
among the French (29 percent) and the Dutch (28 percent)," said Swiss
polling firm Isopublic, which conducted the survey in Switzerland.
Seventy-seven percent of Israelis backed military action, while 54
percent of Americans were in favour, it said.
The surveys were done between September 17 and 19, around a week after
the September 11 suicide attacks on the World Trade Center in New York
and the Pentagon in Washington killed more than 6,000 people.
U.S. officials have named Saudi-born dissident Osama bin Laden the
prime suspect and have threatened military action if Afghanistan,
where bin Laden lives, does not hand him over.
Clear majorities of between 70 and 80 percent supported limiting any
strike to military rather than civilian targets, the survey found.
Asked if their own country should support a U.S. military assault,
people in NATO countries other than Greece tended to agree.
Four out of five Danes backed the idea, followed by 79 percent in
Britain and 73 percent in France. Greeks were the least enthusiastic
with only 29 percent, below 53 percent in Germany and 58 percent in
Norway and Spain.
