ABC Poll: 70% of Iraqi population optimistic. 66% expect improvement.

There are some gray areas covered in the article but for the most part it looks quite optimistic. Just goes to show you that things really have progressed with the infrastructure despite coverage. It also shows us that the country really isn't 5 miles wide as the media portrays it to be (i've been saying it all along).

An ABC News poll in Iraq, conducted with Time magazine and other media partners, includes some remarkable results: Despite the daily violence there, most living conditions are rated positively, seven in 10 Iraqis say their own lives are going well, and nearly two-thirds expect things to improve in the year ahead...

Again, read the article so you know the positives and the negatives. Regardless, it looks like the good may be enough to outweigh the negatives according to this article.
