Look, I brought this poll for one reason. It was the first one conducted. Maybe the sampling was not large enough but hey it is the same size of ones done in the US.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
I'm pro-war, and I don't know if this is just a typo, but I found this interesting:
A third said their lives were better after the war, while 43 percent said it would be better in a year, and 52 percent said it would be improved in five years.
Okay... then I guess the first poll wasn't great...
And that typo.. well maybe the washingtontimes made that typo...

The poll is the first one, and is just a glimmer of the support the US has in Iraq itself, good solid support. Those attacking the US forces are a minority... a rather messed up group of diehard terrorists who speak for nobody but Saddam.

Fez, I'd say the poll is invalid simply because it cannot be collected in an objective way. In a country that is used to having a secret police, I'm sure many people still don't trust the authorities enough to say what they really believe, if it contradicts what the authorities want to hear.
All I'm gonna say is f*ck the Islamist state suporters. At leat in Saddam's Iraq women wern't stoned to death if they were outside without a headscarf. an Islamic state would be worse than the Ba'athists when it comes to human rights, Fezzie. I would be worried that If Iraq becomes islamic the leaders would massacre the Sunni's and become a puppet of Iran. If the Shiites get an Islamic state the US will loose any credibility they had left with Sunni Muslims.
BTW: Al-Qaida is a SUNNI organization, that is why it is bad to tick off the Sunnis, we don't want Osama getting new recruits.
But of course, all this reasonable support may gradually evaporate if the US Army continues to harass innocent people in the middle of the night, to put it lightly (saw an interesting CBS report on the matter today...some sort of torture and largely unexplained arrests/ disappearances are already being discussed)....
I never said I was in support of an Islamic state. In fact that is totally unacceptable. They can have some religious courts, but not the ones like in Nigeria where somebody gets stoned to death for committing adultery.
Odin, you are foolish.

I think those incidents are rare and sproadic.
