One word description of Iraq situation: Bad
for those who said war was right decision: Bad
for those who said war was wrong decision: Bad

How come those who said war was right decision, think that "too long" is one word? :shrug:



http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=272


When respondents were asked to give a one-word impression of the situation in Iraq, the words "mess," "bad," "chaos," "terrible," and "disaster" were offered most frequently along with such variants as "hopeless, "pitiful," "Vietnam," and "out of control."

Those who said that the decision to launch military action in Iraq was the right decision were more likely to offer positive or neutral words, among which "improving," "hopeful," and "good" were mentioned most frequently. However, even among people who approved of the decision to invade Iraq, negative attributes outweighed positive ones by two-to-one.

1. This latest stuff of moving sounds like when India was split.
I am not sure why that jumped into my head but I can recall those pictures of people moving.What a mess we have made of that country. Course when they had Saddam they only had to worry about their own government killing them and now they have added the USA, the so called church down the street and terrorist along with their own government. They must wake in the morning and feel some one is going to get me. Hard to get along with your life at that rate.
