| Why do they love US? |

| Big Pharoah pointed out the important and yet unnoticed discrepancy in the recent USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll of 3,444 Iraqis.: 99% of Kurds said Iraq was much better off or somewhat better off as a result of the U.S.-led invasion. 100% of Kurds said that they and their families were much better off/somewhat better off/about the same. 0% said they were worse off. 96% of Kurds said the coalition should stay somewhat longer than a few months. 98% of Kurds said the U.S. forces have conducted themselves very well or fairly well. 97% of Kurds said they think of coalition forces mostly as liberators. 97% of Kurds said that if the coaltion forces left today, they would feel less safe. President Bush has a 95% approval rating among Kurds, which is higher than he has in the U.S. Saddam Hussein has a 99% disapproval rating (Compare it to 26% in Sunni areas) Rather than have these allies sucked into the quicksand of the rest of Iraq, maybe the Kurds should petition to be the 51st state. That would really put Arab knickers in a knot. |
