The ways Americans want to fight terrorism today — CBS News poll
CBSN
The 20-year war on terrorism brought much debate over how to reduce terrorism, such as the extent and type of U.S. engagements overseas. But today, some of these opinions are informed by the public's wariness after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Most are more leery about military action in general. Only about a third would back general efforts to "turn other countries into democracies" or "military actions overseas" as approaches to reducing terrorism. (Though drone strikes against suspected terrorists, in particular, is something most agree with doing.) But increased security at airports and at the U.S. border meets with wide approval. Large majorities favor more restrictions on immigration and visas as part of the efforts to reduce terrorism. There is also broad and bipartisan support for generally increased efforts to support human rights around the world.More Related News
