Why doesn’t the state-run CBC ask the Iraqis?

As the ever so trendy politically-correct silly set marches across North America protesting the spreading of peace and democracy and women’s rights and national security and the end of savage tyrannical fascist regimes, the liberals’ local media geniuses in Canada, including the state-run media, forgot to include these facts in their oh-so-superb coverage:

Iraqis: life is getting better

Marie Colvin

MOST Iraqis believe life is better for them now than it was under Saddam Hussein, according to a British opinion poll published today.

The survey of more than 5,000 Iraqis found the majority optimistic despite their suffering in sectarian violence since the American-led invasion four years ago this week.

One in four Iraqis has had a family member murdered, says the poll by Opinion Research Business. In Baghdad, the capital, one in four has had a relative kidnapped and one in three said members of their family had fled abroad. But when asked whether they preferred life under Saddam, the dictator who was executed last December, or under Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister, most replied that things were better for them today.

Only 27% think there is a civil war in Iraq, compared with 61% who do not, according to the survey carried out last month.

By a majority of two to one, Iraqis believe military operations now under way will disarm all militias. More than half say security will improve after a withdrawal of multinational forces.

Margaret Beckett, the foreign secretary, said the findings pointed to progress. “There is no widespread violence in the four southern provinces and the fact that the picture is more complex than the stereotype usually portrayed is reflected in today’s poll,” she said.

Obviously, as smart people who aren’t sheep or minions already know, Canada should be doing its duty and fighting in Iraq to help the Americans and their coalition partners peace and stability and sanity to that country, and to others too.  The whole world should be standing up to the Islamist savages.
