As your name implies, you are on another planet. Freepers, as a rule, do NOT swear by polls, and in fact there was a prominent article published on FR about how all the polls were wrong in 1996. As to who is more reliable, I will say this: a Gallup poll in Los Angeles is just a tad more reliable than one done in Iraq or ANY country where there has not been freedom of speech. That's just common sense. The polls were WILDLY off in Nicaragua under Ortega.

Now, whatever you want Gallup to say, the messages I'm seeing, over and over from American SOLDIERS, is that the vast majority of Iraqis want us to stay and pretty much like us.

Yes, there are polls and there is pollaganda...

But a poll number that says 70% of Iraqis are *afraid* to help the coalition for fear of their life is a scary number no matter how you slice it...

The Era of Saddam is still not yet gone.

I cite evidence to illustrate that "vast majority" of Iraqis do not want us to stay: a Gallup poll of more than 3,000. Evidence which even the Front Page accepts!

You, on the other hand, state that the "vast majority" do want us to stay "and pretty much like us" but cite no evidence, presumably you are basing your claim on a "feeling" right? I prefer a much less subjective kind of evidence, however. If you have evidence that transcend your "feelings" what is it?
