Hi Neocon; Here's a better rendition of the poll results (which unfortunately I cannot retrieve directly from the source): Some 57 percent of those questioned said they had no trust in the U.S.-led coalition and a further 22 percent said they had very little trust. Only eight percent said they had a great deal of confidence in the occupying force. In contrast, 42 percent of Iraqis said they had a great deal of trust in Iraq's religious leaders and another 28 percent had "quite a lot" of trust. Only 11 percent had none at all. ... mirror.co.uk Now if this were an election in the US, and your side took 57% of the vote, you'd be calling it a "landslide", with the best "mandate" your side had ever received from the American public. But when it comes to Iraqi public opinion, you don't care any more than King George did about American public opinion in the late 18th century. -- Carl
