Attitudes of Iraqis

From the "Times Online" in the U.K.

MOST Iraqis believe life is better for them now than it was under Saddam Hussein, according to a British opinion poll published today.

...when asked whether they preferred life under Saddam, the dictator who was executed last December, or under Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister, most replied that things were better for them today.

Only 27% think there is a civil war in Iraq, compared with 61% who do not, according to the survey carried out last month.

By a majority of two to one, Iraqis believe military operations now under way will disarm all militias. More than half say security will improve after a withdrawal of multinational forces.

They certainly sound hopeful and optomistic. Obviously the News Media and the Democrats are failing to get the word out.
