Nadine..over 2 million Iraqis have FLED the country. That's not my number, but the number of actual Visas that have been issued.

I don't think that's what the Iraqis of "central" Iraq would say in a poll.

If any poll includes the Kurds then you're going to get about 98% approval there. They're getting the autonomy they always wanted and they'd been relatively shielded from both terrorist and sectarian attacks.

The Shiites of southern Araq might say things are good too, since they aren't going to respond any differently even if they wanted to in a poll for fear they'd be killed by the "Islamic" police.

If things are so good there, then how come they want us to stick around?
