2 in 10 Democrats, 3 in 10 Republicans support bombing of Agrabah.

We have to prevent Jafar from getting weapons of mass destruction.

The most recent poll from the Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling finds that 30% of Republicans nationally would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah.

PPPâ€" which is known for asking trolltastic questionsâ€" found that an additional 13% do NOT support bombing the setting of Disney’s Aladdin. 57% of Republicans have no opinion on the matter.

In fairness to Republican voters, PPP later said on Twitter that Democrats also voiced opinions on bombing the fictional country. 36% say they would oppose a bombing campaign, while 19% support it.

The result of the poll demonstrates a problem endemic in opinion polling and not restricted to one party. Research has shown that 20-40% of the population will consistently voice firm opinions on issues and legislation that do not exist.

Praise be.

I read the topic title thinking, "Where in the fuck is Agrabah? I thought that was from Aladdin? Is that a real place?!"

I dunno about Agrabah, but I would support carpetbombing Mordor.  But no ground troops.  One does not simply occupy Mordor.

I have nothing against Narnians per se, and I know not all of them are in league with the White Queen, but the use of drones in Narnia might have done a lot to quell sectarian violence in that region. Just sayin'.

Agrabah might be derivative of Agra, in India, where the Taj Mahal is located ... though it is also said to be near the Jordan River ... which would tie it to Al-Aqabah a village on the West Bank.  It is also the name of a port at the N end of the Red Sea also in Jordan.

Given how the royal palace looks in Aladdin... I would bet on Agra. Which is brilliantly appropriate since Americans love to attack Sikhs and Indians mistaking them for Muslims...

We are looking for the hidden nukes in their turbans ;-(  Though in one old age story, that is where the Mughal prince hid his most precious diamond ;-)

A whole new wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- BOOM

[SGOS]

Agrabaraians are assholes.  They lie, cheat, steal, and have sex with animals.  They are a threat to America. I've supported bombing them for three years now.

This is hillarious.
