What the Iraqis Want

Tom Hayden, writing for the Nation, points out that the mainstream media isn't paying any attention to the issue of what Iraqis themselves think about the ongoing U.S. occupation of their country. Hayden does a great job documenting Iraqi public opinion, which is strongly in favor of U.S. withdrawal, the sooner the better. Sixty-nine percent of Shiites and 82 percent of Sunnis favor a "near-term withdrawal" and a full year ago a majority of members of the Iraqi provisional authority said they would "feel safer" when U.S. troops were gone.

That's what the "liberated" have to say.
