Rudy Giuliani told the hundred people at his town meeting that he didn't know how long the war on terror would take.
But the former New York Mayor said he would back the fight for as long as necessary, unlike Democratic presidential rivals who say they would pull troops out of Iraq.
"The way you achieve peace, in a world in which there are people that hate you, and people who are maniacally opposed to you as many of the Islamic terrorists are is, the only way you do it is through strength, not weakness. Weakness prolongs struggles like this."
A new poll from USA today shows Giuliani to be the most popular Republican in the presidential race.
He's got 30 percent support, ten points higher than former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson, who hasn't yet announced whether he's a candidate.
Arizona Senator John McCain has sixteen percent support in the poll, while former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has 9.
For NHPR news, I'm David Darman.
