No, he's saying that roughly a third of those polled 60 years after the end of the war thought we should have, in the parlance of you GI Joes, "bombed them back to the stone age". Then he followed that up with what I think is one of the best observations I think I've seen him make, which is the transferrence of unresolved American anger over 9/11 onto the Japanese in a context where revenge was possible. I'm sure that the "third" that he used fits within the margin of error.
Cimarron, if you run across the actual poll data, I'd be interested in seeing it.
