at blive i Irak - "for irakernes skyld"?

Irakerne selv (71 procent af dem) synes, at "hjælpen" skal
have forladt landet indenfor det næste års tid, og irakerne
selv synes heller ikke, der er meget at rose, "hjælperne" for.
Tværtimod virker irakerne _meget_ utilfredse med "hjælpen", de
(60 procent af dem) billiger f.eks. angreb på "hjælperne".

Sept. 27, 2006 ? The Program on International Policy Attitudes
(PIPA) at the University of Maryland has conducted a poll on
the war in Iraq.

Here are a few of the poll's findings:

Six in 10 Iraqis approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces, up
from fewer than half in an earlier PIPA poll in January.

Nearly eight in 10 say the U.S. presence in Iraq is provoking
more conflict than it's preventing (as opposed to being "a
stabilizing force.")

Forty-seven percent say the country is headed in the right
direction, down from 64 percent in January.

Sixty-three percent say the Maliki government is doing a good
job (17 percent "very good.")

Most have confidence in the Iraqi army (64 percent) and police
(71 percent) to protect their security. More than eight in 10
lack such confidence in U.S. troops.

Thirty-seven percent want U.S. troops to withdraw within six
months; an additional 34 percent want them to withdraw within
the next year.

Fifty-three percent are confident that Iraqi security forces
will be strong enough to deal with security challenges in six
months, up 14 points since January.
