Kelly the Dog Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well, they are two completely different polls, which is obvious in the first two paragraphs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Polls suck. I really don't know how you can make such a blanket assumption like that. In the USA Today poll, for example, they asked 2212 Iraqis specific questions. In a country of 25,000,000 people, with 26,000,000 different perspectives, that's a true and unbiased look at 0.00008848 % of the populace.

Chilly Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 USA Today => Iraqis see hope drain awayhttp://usatoday.printthis.clickability.com...;partnerID=1660 UK Times Online => Iraqis: life is getting better http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle1530762.ece As KTFABD said, they AREN'T the same poll. Hell, in the USA Today article, it says: The Sunday Times in London published a poll Sunday of 5,019 Iraqis taken by a British firm, Opinion Research Business, from Feb. 10-22. It found that Iraqis by 49%-26% preferred life under the new government to life under Saddam. In the USA TODAY/ABC News Poll, Iraqis by 43%-36% said life was better than before the invasion. That's a decline from the optimism in the November 2005 survey, however, when by 51%-29% Iraqis said life was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at what is happening on the ground: Massive migration out of the country, for instance: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L13146608.htm Or the ethnic cleansing that is taking place: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L13146608.htm Or the newly expanded Baghdad morgue buldging with decomposing bodies: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...05/ixworld.html Or all the kidnappings that are a way of life there now: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/24/...ain541815.shtml No one is saying Saddam wasn't a very bad man, but maybe it took a guy like him to run a place like that. I dunno, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
