Is that your argument against all poll based statistics?
What's notable here is that many Iraqis polled acknowledge that life without Saddam is preferable, and that their perception of the country isn't one caught up in an all out civil war. That contradicts the story which the anti-war crowd wants you to hear. Even more notable is that a chunk of Iraq is on the mend, and doing pretty okay considering the type of screw job the US Government created. So there is some validity in these types of articles. I would think if you posed the same poll to Americans about how they would assumeIraqis would answer, the results would be the total opposite.
Another thing, while we're at it - Being a member of the Baathist Party, with all it's history and skeletons, insinuates a lot more then just having a crummy leader. You may be tired of the status updates, but isn't it better then no consistant updates, like has been the case with Afghanistan?
