Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

LOCAL POLL SHOWS SUPPORT FOR WAR IS WEAKENING
"As violence in Iraq escalates leading up to Wednesday's transfer of power, fewer Alabamians now think the U.S. invasion made the world safer, according to the results of a Mobile Register-University of South Alabama poll taken last week. Less than half the 407 people surveyed said the war has made the world a safer place, a stark difference from April 2003, after the successful invasion, when more than three-quarters of respondents said the same thing. "
The poll results are consistent with a USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll released on Thursday that shows that for the first time since the start of the war in Iraq, a majority of Americans now say the U.S.-led invasion was a mistake. Fifty four percent of the 1,005 Americans polled said it was a mistake to send U.S. troops into Iraq, compared with 41 percent who held that view three weeks ago. The findings mark the first time since Vietnam that a majority of Americans has called a major deployment of U.S. forces a mistake, USA Today reported on its Web site. Like the local poll, this poll also showed that 55 percent said the war has increased U.S. vulnerability, compared to a December poll in which 56 percent said the war made the United States safer.
