When you mention poll results in Iraq where Iraqis said their lives are much better now than under Saddam, that implies a conclusion. And I said that it is a premature conclusion (however implied of a conclusion its mantion maybe).

The Shiites, Ayatollah Sistani, who has a large following wants the US out of there. That is what the issue is, Not if their life is better off. When people like you take that stance, and Bush does too, we start to question Bush if he is running for Iraqi President or for the Presidency of the US. To say Iraqis are better off when the Americans are saying that they are worse off is the issue.

So in summary, the Iraqis may be better off, but the Bush foreign policy is not better off with Sistani's demand, and the US people are not better off.
