Poll: Should the US go ahead with Iraq air strikes?

Obama said warplanes will launch strikes if neccessary – do you agree?

US PRESIDENT BARACK Obama has ordered US warplanes to launch military strikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq “if necessary” to stop what he said was a potential “genocide” in the country.

Obama was quick to stress, however, that he would not allow the US to be dragged into another war.

We want to know what you think: Should the US go ahead with Iraq air strikes?
