28. Gee, it didn't take long to find this:
Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 01:24 AM by ComerPerro
And almost half -- 49 percent -- of those questioned believe the invasion of their country by U.S. and British troops was right, compared with 39 percent who said it was wrong.

Gee, so fifty percent think it was right, and forty percent think it was wrong...

Hmm...

But, I'm sorry. I guess that 40% is compeletely irrelevant.

Fuck them, right?


EDIT:

Hey, look what I found when I kept reading!

But Iraqis are concerned about conditions in their country, the poll shows.

They have considerable worries about joblessness, security and basic services like electricity.
...
Seven in 10 say the availability of jobs is poor and nearly that many said the same about electricity.
...
About half said they oppose the presence of coalition forces,
...
Only 25 percent said they had confidence in coalition forces to deliver their needs. There were far higher levels of confidence in Iraqi religious leaders, 70 percent; local police, 68 percent; and the new Iraqi army, 56 percent.
...

And then there was this little gem:

The polling firm "reported a car wreck, interviewers detained by coalition forces, interviewers detained and questioned by Iraqi police, and some who had to detour around a bombing site," he said.
