ANOTHER POLL IN IRAQ

And guess what...they approve.
The Gallup organization has conducted a public opinion poll in Iraq -- and finds most people in Baghdad are glad Saddam Hussein is gone.

More than 60 percent of Baghdad residents surveyed think getting rid of Saddam was worth all the hardships they've had to endure since the war. And two-thirds think their country will be better off five years from now than it was before the U.S. invasion. Only 8 percent think it'll be worse off.

But the Iraqis aren't convinced Iraq is better off now -- 47 percent surveyed say the country is worse off than before the invasion, while 33 percent say it's better off.

Well over half say they support the new Iraqi Governing Council, even though the United States is still ultimately calling the shots. The poll of more than 1,100 adults was done face-to-face in households from Aug. 28 through Sept. 4.

So why do so many outside of Iraq still think what we did was wrong?
