BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Nearly two-thirds of Baghdad residents say the removal of Saddam Hussein was worth the hardships they have endured, a report said Wednesday.
Despite the collapse of government and civic institutions, looting and violence and shortages of water and electricity, 67 percent of 1,178 Iraqis told a Gallup survey team within five years, their lives will be better than before the U.S.-led invasion.
Only 8 percent of those queried said they believed their lives would be worse off as a result of the military campaign to remove Saddam and his Baath Party leadership, the New York Times reported. The survey, which was conducted in late August and early September, cut across the ethnically diverse landscape of the capital.
So there you have it! Even according to the Iraqis the war was right. You are wrong and your anti-war movement is fast dimishing as highlighted by your pathetic ten thousand turnout for your anti-Iraq occupation rally!

War or sanctions,, you choose

Iraq had been under crippling sanctions for 13 years in any case. Given a choice between sanctions and war, war might be the better option. You may recall that we were applying the sanctions because Saddam had these mysterious invisible WMD.

Funny how they never get a voice in these matters.
Say, maybe Gallup did one of it's infamous polls
of the population by picking names out of the phone
book and ringing them up.
