Poll: Public Supports Pirate Killing

I guess the "pro pirate culture" hasn't enfeebled us after all:

Seventy-two percent (72%) of U.S. voters say the United States should take more military action to prevent further piracy against American and other ships off Africa’s east coast.

Twelve percent (12%) are opposed to any further U.S. military action against the pirates, and 16% are not sure, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

There is very little partisan disagreement on this question. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of both Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party support more military action against the pirates, as do 63% of Democrats.
