Most Iraqis think they were better off under Hussein

Here's a depressing blurb that rubber hose links to:
More than 90 per cent of Iraqis believe the country is worse off now than before the war in 2003, according to new research obtained by Al Jazeera.

A survey of 2,000 people by the Iraq Centre for Research and Strategic Studies found that 95 per cent of respondents believe the security situation has deteriorated since the arrival of US forces.

The findings follow a poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal that found that less than one in four Americans approves of George Bush's administration’s handling of the conflict in Iraq.
Pretty frickin' sad that people think they were better off under Saddam Hussein. Of course, given the data on violence, electricity output, etc., it's not surprising. One more time: this invasion was stupid; this occupation is stupid; let's get the hell out.
