How the Iraqis feel about the war
The BBC has a new poll of Iraqis.
Seventy per cent of people said that things were going well or quite well in their lives, while only 29% felt things were bad.And 56% said that things were better now than they were before the war.
...
In the poll of Iraqis, nearly 80% favoured a unified state with a central government in Baghdad; only 14% opted for a system of regional governments combined with a federal authority.
...
About 15% say foreign forces should leave Iraq now, but many more say they should stay until an Iraqi government is in place or security is restored.
Looking back, more Iraqis think the invasion was right than wrong, although 41% felt that the invasion "humiliated Iraq".--BBC NEWS
