Sheep's cry for shepherd... Aka "The Lion of Baghdad" Iraq people lone for the good Saddam times : yet another HUGE embarasment for the US Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & Research Iraqis Say They Were Better Off Under Hussein January 3, 2007 (Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Many adults in Iraq believe the coalition effort has been negative, according to a poll by the Iraq Centre for Research and Strategic Studies and the Gulf Research Center. 90 per cent of respondents think the situation in their country was better before the U.S.-led invasion. The coalition effort against Saddam Hussein's regime was launched in March 2003. At least 3,000 American soldiers have died during the military operation, and more than 22,500 troops have been wounded in action. There has been no official inquiry on the actual number of Iraqi casualties. A volunteer group of British and U.S. academics and researchers-known as Iraq Body Count (IBC)-estimates that more than 52,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed during the military intervention. In December 2005, Iraqi voters renewed their National Assembly. In May 2006, Shiite United Iraqi Alliance member Nouri al-Maliki officially took over as prime minister. The survey was conducted in November 2006, before the publication of the Iraq Study Group's findings in the United States, and Hussein's execution for crimes against humanity. Late last month, Al-Maliki called on the "followers of the ousted regime" to "reconsider their stance as the door is still open to anyone who has no innocent blood on his hands to help in rebuilding Iraq." Polling Data Do you feel the situation in the country is better today or better before the U.S.-led invasion? Better today 5% Better before 90% Not sure 5% Source: Iraq Centre for Research and Strategic Studies / Gulf Research Center Methodology: Face-to-face interviews with 2,000 Iraqi adults in Baghdad, Anbar and Najaf, conducted in late November 2006.
