What do the Iraqis Think?
By Paul
An interesting survey about what Iraqis think based on face-to-face interviews conducted between March 23 – March 31, 2006. I found the response to the following curious.
The Iraqi government currently provides cheap fuel to all Iraqis. Would you be willing to accept a small increase in the price of fuel in exchange for a large reduction in Iraq’s international debt, an increase of several hundred thousand new jobs for Iraqis, and significantly improved government services for the poorest Iraqis?
The majority- some 61 percent- said NO.
Here is a link to survey summary. The graph above shows the ratings for economic conditions.
