In past months, President Bush has repeatedly touted the “good news” whenever the Iraqi people displayed their purple fingers with big smiles and exercised their right to vote. Bush argued that we should trust in the voice of the Iraqi people.
As far as I know, Mr. Bush hasn’t acknowledged this recent unofficial vote by the Iraqis [1]:
About six in 10 Iraqis say they approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces, and slightly more than that want their government to ask U.S. troops to leave within a year, a poll finds.
This poll was conducted by the University of Maryland’s Program on International Policy Attitudes and it involved interviews with 1,150 Iraqi people.
This same poll also found that almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military presence “provokes more violence than it prevents.”
