What Do Iraqis Think?
Many of those who debate the Iraq war state that the Iraqis don't want us there, and that we have made things much worse for them. However, this poll refutes these notions, and shows that Iraqis are feeling pretty good about things, to wit:
71% say their life is good
61% say that security is good
66% say that crime levels are good
74% say their schools are good
70% say their economic situation is good
64% say things will get better
67% have confidence in the Iraqi army
68% have confidence in the Iraqi police
57% prefer democracy to dictatorship or religious rule
47% said the US invasion was right (50% said it was wrong)
In terms of living standards:
62% have a cell phone
55% have a car
58% have an air conditioner
86% have a satellite dish
all are up from a 2004 poll, including a 63% increase in monthly salary
It seems the Iraqis have a better view of the war than we do.
