SM: There was a recent poll done for the BBC though which seemed to suggest that the Iraqi people believed their lives were going to get better.

NC: I read that on the BBC, then I looked up the actual poll and it's worth comparing. What was reported about the poll was trivialities such as the Iraqis are happy to get rid of Saddam Hussain, you don't need a poll for that. They hope their life will get better, so does everybody. What the poll actually said however was quite interesting.
