30% of Americans want to bomb Aladdin's fictional homeland: Poll

They want to bomb the hell out of ... Aladdin?
A poll of Republican voters found 30% are in favour of bombing Aladdin's fictional kingdom of Agrabah from the 1992 Disney movie.
The Democratic pollster, Public Policy Polling, has a reputation for trolling questions.
To be fair, the pollsters also asked Democrat voters and 19% agreed to airstrikes, which would presumably take out the Sultan's palace.
Public Policy Polling snuck the question into a survey that covered a wide range of serious questions of voter intentions and other issues.
Of Republicans who wanted to bomb Aladdin, 45% are Donald Trump supporters.
The poll had Agrabah trending on Twitter on Friday afternoon as social media jokesters went to town.
"To be fair, it's a brutal dictatorship," wrote one.
"Bombing Agrabah won't be enough. Why we need ground troops," wrote another.
Others said the results are no joking matter, pointing out research that indicates up to 40% of Americans will consistently voice firm opinions on issues and legislation that don't exist.

i wonder what percent of the respondents were bombed when they answered the poll
my god...the thought that they were sober at the time

“The 55th brigade [of the Iraqi Army] was hit by the US aviation. More than 20 soldiers were killed and over 30 servicemen were wounded as a result of the airstrike,” Zamili told Sputnik.

Initially, Sputnik reported over 30 deaths in the incident.

The incident occurred near the town of Al-Naimiya in the Fallujah province after the Iraqi troops had freed “a strategically important area” from the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants, he added."

I think we all know just how poor Americans' grasp of geography is.

Most of those Americans who have heard of Uzbekistan (and it won't be that many) probably think it borders Narnia.

They must be using your countries maps. You keep changing the borders if that helps you understand the line.
No avatars less glaring on the eyes??

I would hate to know what they see imagine happens to the women who are captured alive.

Yeah. Briddin.

Face it. The effusion of Briddish blood doesn't come from invasion. It comes when the locals get tired of the Briddish invaders.

Up the RA!

I look forward to the day when the Rockallians rebel.

Until that day happens, it shall remain a UK island.

Maybe it's like the Malvinas. All of some country's dreams and aspirations are represented by an island that they have never lived on, ever.

Malvinas is the Spanish word for the (English-speaking) islands. Do you go around calling Japan "Nippon"?

We should do, yes ... and " Germany" should be prounounced "Deutschland",too.

...oh, and calling Cymru "Wales" (means "foreigners" in the tongue of the Germanic invaders) is the ultimate in Briddish arrogance.

The Welsh are British, too.

As for the Taffs, they were "Walha" ("foreigners") to the Anglo-Saxons, lest we forget.
