A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll found that two-thirds of
Iranians would favor their government precluding the development of
nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions
against Iran. Only one-third would be ready to halt enrichment in exchange for
lifting sanctions. However, another third, while insisting on
continuing enrichment, would agree to grant international inspectors
unrestricted access to nuclear facilities to ensure that that there are

will be tightened if Iran continues its current nuclear program.Article Continues Advertiser Links

Gates, speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said of the potential list of targets for
