It would be nice to have more information as to the polling. ( hope it's
accurate though )

ong_IraqisWhile the report contains fascinating poll result nuggets --
someencouraging, others discouraging -- it's impossible at this point
toadequately analyze and interpret the poll results because there's no link
onthe Sunday Times of London Web site to all the poll questions and
results,nor does the ORB polling organization post that information on its
Web site.Excerpts of the poll results as published in the Sunday Times of
London:-- Only 27% of Iraqis believe their country is in a civil war. That
numberdivided along religious lines, with 41% of Sunnis believing Iraq was
in acivil war, compared with only 15% of Shi'ites.-- Yet 49% of those
questioned preferred life under Nouri al-Maliki, theprime minister, to
living under Saddam. Only 26% said things had been betterin Saddam's era,
while 16% said the two leaders were as bad as each otherand the rest did
not know or refused to answer.-- Not surprisingly, the divisions in Iraqi
society were reflected instatistics - Sunnis were more likely to back the
previous Ba'athist regime(51%) while the Shi'ites (66%) preferred the
Maliki government.-- Some 26% of Iraqis - 15% of Sunnis and 34% of Shi'ites
- have sufferedthe murder of a family member.-- Kidnapping has also played
a terrifying role: 14% have had a relative,friend or colleague abducted,
rising to 33% in Baghdad.
