Here’s one Iraqi response to President Bush’s visit:

Happy thanksgiving .

I am very proud for the great great visit of Mr. President to Iraq .It was very brief visit. The reaction from Iraq people is very very great .They feel it is good support and insure American are going to stay until the job is done .Iraqi people they worry about American election .They love very much Mr. Bush to be elected again a lot of people ask from Iraq what they can be a part of the campaign.

The author of this email lives near Mosul. She is a Chaldean Christian. No doubt there are Iraqis who disagree with her. Still, wouldn’t it be interesting to see a poll of who most Iraqis would like to see as America’s president in 2004?

The cross-tabs would be especially intriguing, e.g.:

Male/female;

Christian/Sunni/Shia/other;

Kurd/Arab/other;

pro-democracy/Baathist dead-ender/resident alien Jihadi.
