For War on Terror, Women Rally Like Never Before NEW YORK — Conventional wisdom would have women leaning a little pacifist when it comes to armed conflict, but the war on terror is shattering that stereotype. Recent polls are showing American women are more supportive now than in any other conflict in modern history. Unlike in earlier conflicts, when polling showed far more men than women in favor of war, 87 percent of women and 88 percent of men in a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll said they support President Bush's war on terror. Only 73 percent of men and 59 percent of women told Gallup pollsters they supported the war in Vietnam during its early days. And if the polls are any indication, women are taking this new threat more seriously than men. In the Fox News poll, 70 percent of women said the attacks of Sept. 11 "changed my life forever." This, compared to 58 percent of men. For women then, the war is not a distant one with little impact beyond the gas pump. It is personal. "I think we have no choice but to go in there with military force," Kuebler said. "We are Americans," she said. "We need to protect our country. Mothers of the Greatest Generation gave of themselves literally and I feel we have a responsibility to do the same." foxnews.com
