1. CIA and Mossad internet activists behind it
Lyn ,   dsadas   (07.04.12)
Of course the CIA and Mossad internet activists flooded the poll as soon as they detected it.
2. #1 Lyn

What support do you have that suggests poll flooding by "CIA and Mossad"? We have many sources of information that would surprise most people familiar with the issues of peace and war with Iran. Have a happy 4th!
3. #1 Hey Baby Ayatollah, baby umar. Listen to me.

You listen very carefully for what i will say. Most iranians hates Ayatollah and Islamist. The problem is, they gets shoot when they protest. Many Iranians are zionist. Unlike arabs that supports islamist, many iranians prefer secularism. The problem is, the minority always gets the light spot and they always represent Iran. That bearded monkey ahmadinejad is a good example. If Iran does not remove islamist soon, the next generation will be islamist and brainwashed. I believe it may be too late already.
4. To no.1 Lyn
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (07.04.12)
No really, what do you say ?? You're genius sister Abdul, you have uncovered one of the most complicated top secret operations in the 21 century.
5. Enlightening!

First, the numbers are probably even less than the reality, as many are too afraid of responding truthfully. Those who did respond contrary to the government's wishes, will likely be visited by government agents, soon. Second, the insight into the common Iranian viewpoint, is significant. The sanctions are effective, and should be further tightened. Inflicting as much anger against the Iranian regime is critical. Thirdly, the Iranian populace knows well, what will happen if the Strait of Hormuz is closed. And, they are frightened by this prospect. This survey conveys the enormous disconnect between the Iranian leadership, and their constituency. I hope the sanctions are pushed to the point where the Iranian population understands that their leaders will sacrifice the entire population, to further their selfish goals.
6. Not sure at all about 62%
Tim ,   Brighton   (07.04.12)
Because we are not sure how the questions were put Take a recent poll conducted by an unnamed Iran Newspaper which asked the question 'Do you feel it is worth the money and sanctions spent on nuclear research?' A resounding 87% of 700 of those questioned said a resounding NO No one wants war but no government in its right mind given the rhetoric and the fear that Ahmadinejad might develop and actually USE a nuclear weapon can take chances In any case..Im beginning to fear the drumbeats and the countdown for war have already begun..and the RG believing itself now to be invincible will attempt to seize control of the Arabian Gulf Bahrein and the Hormuz as a lever for more demands and a prelude to regional domination
7. #1 - Iranians are suffering!
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (07.04.12)
Sky high inflation; shortages, sharia law, and religious fanatics in charge. How would you have answered the poll if you could not buy food and things were getting worse? Be honest now! Iran is now storing oil on tankers because it has no buyers nor insurance. If they have to shut down wells they will later produce and a highly diminished rate. What are you not getting here?
8. online polls are unrelaible
(07.04.12)
those with Internet access in Iran are prosperous people in cities, make up about 10-20% of the population generally anti-Ahmedinijad & anti-Khameni. 80% population are mainly rural & illiterates and are fanatical supporters of Ahmedinijad & Khameni and this poll doesnt cover them
9. unscientific online polls mean absolutely nothing
Jeff ,   Chicago   (07.04.12)
there was an "online CNN poll" a few months ago that said 76% of people want to legalize heroin...... i wouldn't put too much stock in this stuff
10. Only 2000 votes, how could CIA/Mossad "flood" tiny poll?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.04.12)
11. internet poll = ZERO credit
inconito   (07.05.12)
pro Western, the Iranian fifth colum, voted en masse on the internet. Iranians will never ever surrender their program. period. the bogus poll, will not succeed in convincing anyone.
