terror threat increased after the "war" in Iraq

Yahoo news is reporting that a world poll shows that in a poll of 41,000+ people around the world 33 of 35 nations believed that the threat of terrorism has increased due to the Iraqi conflict.

"The near unanimity of this assessment among countries is remarkable
in public opinion polling."


Overall 45% think it was a mistake to remove Saddam from power while 34% agree with the action. ok Im about to make an unfair inference but whatever, Saddam has a higher world approval than Bush does in his own Country (35-40%) hahaha although it should be pointed out that 74% of Iraqis agreed with taking out saddam, if thats true than it may change my mind on the matter, we are supposedly trying to free them so their opinon should matter.

Thanks to Yahoo and the BBC

Hi Arthur! How are you?

My opinion is that Sadam is crazy, it committed many barbarisms against its own town. I think that it would have to be its own town that judged it but I do not know if he would be feasible... and the international courts do not give much respect me... Complicated subject.

Besitos
Terrible the images that arrive there from every day. And I have the sensation from a good beginning that we are accumulating error after error... Finish please!!

I have no idea what to do now, if we pull out there will be civil war, if we stay there will probably be civil war. Any government that we are connected to will be overthrown as soon as we leave unless it is a brutal regime. Saddam was a cruel leader but durring his worst atrocites in the 80's the US supported him, including supplying weapons. And there is a reason that Bush sr. didnt take out saddam in the first gulf war, it was known then that as bad as saddam is it would be worse if we took him out, civil war would ensue and it would probably become a fundamentalist state where women would be even more harshly oppressed. Now we are stuck, there is no good answer, we need change but there is no easy way out. this is going to get worse before it gets better. I feel for all of the civilians of Iraq there is no winner in a war, one side just looses more.
