    “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”

    It frustrates me beyond words that we can’t even get 51% of Americans to agree on something like this, which I think is so obvious. But, that’s where we are as a country. I suppose I need to have enough wisdom to accept that.

    There are only 535 Americans’ opinions that might matter, and only if they have enough support to not only pass a law revoking the President’s war authority, but upholding the inevitable veto. I’m not holding my breath.

    Nearly half say they would be more likely to support continued military action if it led to a government in Iran that is friendly to the U.S. or puts an end to the Iranian nuclear program.

    The downside risks are also evident: 54% say they would be less likely to support U.S. military action if it leads to U.S. casualties. Many also indicate their support would decline if U.S. actions led to a broader conflict in the Middle East.
