A disturbing new poll out of Iraq, that is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo." The survey was commissioned by the coalition itself, and asked more than 1,000 Iraqis a number of questions about the war.
The headline is only two percent of Iraqis consider the U.S.A. liberators. Ninety-two percent see us as occupiers. And 41 percent want American troops to leave right now.
So it's obvious that the Iraqi people, with the exception of the Kurds, are not grateful for the sacrifice America has made to give them a shot at freedom. And while things may improve a bit over the next few months, I believe the Iraqi people in general are not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to live in freedom, just like the South Vietnamese were not.
So what should America do now? Well, first, we have to accept the poll. We tried to help, our intentions were noble, but the Muslim world is very difficult, and reasoning with zealots is almost impossible.
So the U.S.A. should give the new Iraqi government a fighting chance to succeed by sending in more troops now, training as many new Iraqi police and soldiers as we can and ordering our special forces to hunt down and kill as many terrorists as possible.
