POLL: Iraqi Life Better Now Than Under Sadaam

Despite what George Stephanopolous's claiming on This Week right now, a new British poll finds that Iraqis perceive their life as better now than under Sadaam. Beyond the main finding, the most intriguing is that only 27% of Iraqis think their country is plagued by a civil war. This in contrast to the whole of the Left here, for whom "civil war" is a buzz word.

In the meantime, the Iraqi government is beginning to act with some assurance on things like the new oil bill. Am I the only one who believes that such confidence and the surge are unrelated? Funny what happens when you demonstrate your commitment and work for greater security.
