A UK based opinion poll company ran a survey in Iraq(PDF). They found:
- most Iraqi’s think the situation in Iraq would get better if American troops left
- most (Shias and Sunnis but not Kurds) don’t want to divide up Iraq
- they’re about divided about whether or not the country is in a state of civil war
The most interesting statistics are in the demographic section:
- about a quarter of the respondents have had a member of their family murdered in the last three years
- about 60% don’t have jobs, this suggests high unemployment (about 40% of Americans don’t have jobs)
- Most identify themselves as “Muslum” rather than “Sunni” or “Shia”
UPDATE: While it appears that Iraqi’s are more in favor of the war than Americans are, its important to note that dead people can express their dissatisfaction with being dead.
