Quote: A new WPO poll of the Iraqi public finds that seven in ten Iraqis want US-led forces to commit to withdraw within a year. An overwhelming majority believes that the US military presence in Iraq is provoking more conflict than it is preventing and there is growing confidence in the Iraqi army. If the US made a commitment to withdraw, a majority believes that this would strengthen the Iraqi government. Support for attacks on US-led forces has grown to a majority position—now six in ten. Support appears to be related to a widespread perception, held by all ethnic groups, that the US government plans to have permanent military bases in Iraq.

Thanks for posting it Ralphy,but the result of this poll doesnt bring any surprise...I mean, its the same perception that we (non americans) have...

Uh... I believe everyone wants our troops out. Including US! (ooh, cheesy play on letters...)

with all due respect ........ world would have been a rather better place if US had stayed inside its own boundries after world war II..... but its thirst for oil has brought so much damage to the world outside.....

You would have to be pretty crazy to not want our troops home.

WOW, and if you're going to make accusations... a good place to start would be with facts.

"Thirst for oil?" Everybody, including Pakistan, has a "thirst for oil." I don't know if you know this... but most of our modes of transportation run on OIL. However, I assume that you were trying to imply that the U.S. only goes around looking for oil. My friend, if America was willing to kill for oil... it'd be in Venezuela. It's a hell of a lot closer than the Middle East.

^Yeah ,that post was ridiculous (not yours, the one you were responding to).

People liek to blame America for ltos of things, and while America certainly has its problems, until recently, it had been doing a fine job in the world. We saved Europe twice, then saved the world by winning the Cold War.

I found this to be the most remarkable part, 60% of the Iraqis supports attacks on US-led forces, yet noone seems to pick up on it.
Ofcourse it's just a poll, but if it were true, it means that a democratic majority supports attacks on American soldiers.
