Polls: Support rising for US to become more involved in the Middle East

After the violent and hideous beheadings of two American journalists, a war-weary US looks increasingly ready to step into the turmoil in the Middle East.

According to the NBC/WSJ poll,  27 percent want the US to get more involved in foreign affairs in the Middle East.  In April that number stood at 19 percent.

Those who want the US to stay out of foreign disputes is on the decline:  the poll shows 40 percent of Americans want the US to stay out of another war, down from 47 percent in April.
