I didn’t ask, but the BBC did: And once again, the Bushie's are wrong:

MOST IMPORTANTLY read the first set of Charts on the top, specifically the one on the right.
In 2007 about 63% of Iraqis said things were about the same or worse than they were under Saddam. Less than 40% of Iraqis feel that things are somewhat or much better than they were before the war. That is NOT even close to MOST. (about 60% said their own lives were about the same or worse)
Since the end of the war in Iraq , thousands of civilians have died in violence on the streets. Support for the coalition forces based in Iraq is low - with 82% expressing a lack of confidence in them and 69% thinking they had made the security situation worse.
Security remains a key concern. Asked whether they felt safe in their own neighbourhoods, 40% said yes in 2004, 63% in 2005 but only 26% in 2007.
A strong leader is more popular than democracy to 58% of the Sunni population, although most accept Iraq will be a democracy in five years' time. Shia respondents were split 41% to 40% in favour of democracy over an Islamic state, but 52% think Iraq will be a democracy in five years' time.
