| Description | It is impossible to gauge with any accuracy the popular mood in a nation as fractured and traumatized as Iraq. Nevertheless, the poll by an Iraqi university research team for the Ministry of Defense this summer is likely to bear some resemblance to the reality of the situation.
The confidential survey, leaked to the British media last weekend, suggests that fewer than 1 percent of Iraqis think the U.S. and U.K. military involvement in their country is helping to improve security. Sixty-seven percent feel less secure precisely because of the occupation. And -- most worrying of all -- around 65 percent of Iraqis approve of attacks on occupation forces. |
