Ask the Iraqi People

[Nemont]

Here is a novel idea lets ask the Iraqi people if their lives are better. Do they think everything is perfect? NO, of course not. Ask them if their future is brighter without Saddam? Overwhelmingly YES.

Better Life
Poll: Most Iraqis Ambivalent About the War, But Not Its Results
Analysis
By Gary Langer

March 15— A year after the bombs began to fall, Iraqis express ambivalence about the U.S.-led invasion of their country, but not about its effect: Most say their lives are going well and have improved since before the war, and expectations for the future are very high

Personal Lives

On a personal level, seven in 10 Iraqis say things overall are going well for them — a result that might surprise outsiders imagining the worst of life in Iraq today. Fifty-six percent say their lives are better now than before the war, compared with 19 percent who say things are worse (23 percent, the same). And the level of personal optimism is extraordinary: Seventy-one percent expect their lives to improve over the next year.

Again there are regional and ethnic differences. In the Kurdish north, 70 percent say their lives overall are better than before the war; in the south, 63 percent. That declines to 54 percent in the central region, and falls under half — to 46 percent — in the greater Baghdad area, home to more than a quarter of Iraqis.

I find it curious that the media spends hours searching for some disillusioned Iraqi who hates the US and would just as soon live under the tyrant, then they put the camera on his and ask his opinion about the US. Well what do you know, he hates them. But then they knew that before they started..

How can you believe the press?? Any press? They all have an agenda and that is usually slanted one way or the other. Objectivity in news reporting is as obsolete as honesty in a relationship.. in Kalifornia... between the girls.
