The majority of Iraqis overall view the recent parliamentary elections as valid, are optimistic that their country is going in the right direction and feel that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein has been worth the costs.
Sunnis, on the other hand...
The poll was conducted for WorldPublicOpinion.org by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland and was fielded by KA Research Limited...
Among the Shia and Kurds optimism is even higher.
Seventy-six percent of Kurds and 84% of Shia say they think the country is headed in the right direction.
the ethnic divisions are very sharp.
Ninety-eight percent of Shia and 91% of Kurds say the hardships were worth it, while 83% of Sunnis say they were not.

Thanks for saying so.
It is too bad that the old media will never report this.
We just have to circulate to our friends and families.

So are iraqi's subject to the same problems as the Afghanistan constitution? Is sharia law supreme even over universal human rights?

The stock holders have been losing money for a while.
They will soon lose some more money.
I just hope that mutual funds are not holding alot of their falling stock.
