And here's what they have to say about why the US is in Iraq: hinduonnet.com While the Americans may claim that they invaded Iraq to liberate the people, as far as the Iraqis are concerned very few believe this American spin to the war. According to the NDTV poll, more than 2 out of 3 Iraqis, 67 per cent, believe that the real reason behind America's war is to gain control of Iraq's oil fields. Only 23 per cent of the people of Iraq believe that America wanted to help liberate the country. Once again the Muslims are much more suspicious of the Americans than the Christians in Iraq (the poll sample had 12 per cent Christians): 69 per cent Muslims thinks the war was all about oil while 56 per cent of Christians suspect the Americans' motives. This widespread suspicion of America's motives is perhaps a reason why 52 per cent of Iraqis (in an earlier response to the NDTV poll) want Americans to leave Iraq now. Orca
