An Iraqi Taxi driver's perspective of the war
My therapist was on vacation, and met a taxi driver from Iraq. He's been gone since 1991.

She asked him what he thought, trying not to impose her perspective. She wanted his true thoughts on the situation.

He said they were glad to be rid of Hussein. But that now there were more terrorists in his country and not less. He said he wanted the Americans to leave. Too many of his countrymen had died. I think the number he gave for the civilian count was 3500 (maybe 35000).

I wonder what the result of a polling of Iraqis would be. Can we send Zogby to Iraq?
