Nearly two-thirds of Baghdad’s citizens think the ousting of Saddam was worth any hardship they have endured since, according to a Gallup poll released today. Beyond that, 67% of the 1,178 Iraqis polled believe their country will be in better condition five years from now than it was before the U.S. and British-led invasion. And only 8% think it will be worse off. Chirac’s favorability rating was 42 percent to Mr. Bush’s 29 percent and Mr. Blair’s 20 percent, but 50% think that the Coalition Provisional Authority is doing a better job now than was the case two months ago.
