What do the Iraqi people think?

Apparently, they have much more confidence in their country's future than John Kerry does. A poll released on September 8th indicates that most Iraqis have faith in democracy, and express hope for the future. Here's a quote from an article by James S. Robbins:

The IRI poll revealed that three quarters of Iraqis are hopeful for the future, that 80 percent believe things will slowly get better, two-thirds think life will be better a year from now and seventy percent would not leave Iraq if given a chance. Eighty-seven percent plan to vote in the upcoming election (much greater than US voter participation), and only about 1.5 percent are concerned that the security situation makes things too unstable to vote. Fifty-eight percent believe democracy is either very or somewhat likely to succeed.

Somebody tell John Kerry; he still has time to change his mind about Iraq. Again. And again, and again, and again....
