Curiosities from the Iraq poll
The following items from the D3/ABC/ARD/BBC/USA Today poll from March struck me as curious.
53% of Iraqis think Saddam's execution harmed reconciliation efforts.
The percentages that think the following countries are encouraging sectarian violence are:
Syria, 66%; Iran, 71%; Saudi Arabia, 56%.
30% would move to another country if they could.
94% think forcible separation along ethnic lines is a bad thing!
Only 9% have never tried to avoid U.S. forces as a way of staying out of trouble.
The percentages that think the following countries are playing a negative role:
U.S., 77%, Iran, 67%, Syria, 63%, Saudi Arabia, 56%, Turkey, 46%, Russia, 13%.
If only 6% think forcible separation is a bad thing, who is doing all the ethnic cleansing?
For a supposedly Shiite dominated country, the negatives towards Iran seem very high. But this is consistent with Juan Cole's writings about the politics of the Sadrists.
