At what point would you call a country fascist? When a clear majority of its population are willing to kill 2 million foreign civilians to save 20,000 of their own compatriots? When they think the life of just one of their nation's soldiers is more important than the lives of 100 foreign civilians? Where is the limit?

From this Stanford study: "Contrary to the nuclear taboo thesis, a clear majority of Americans would approve of using nuclear weapons first against the civilian population of a nonnuclear-armed adversary, even killing 2 million Iranian civilians, if they believed that such use would save the lives of 20,000 U.S. soldiers.

In addition, contrary to the principle of noncombatant immunity, an even larger percentage of Americans would approve of a conventional bombing attack designed to kill 100,000 Iranian civilians in the effort to intimidate Iran into surrendering, according to Sagan.

The research also shows that women support nuclear weapons use and violations of noncombatant immunity no less (and in some cases, more) than male respondents, they wrote."
