Gallup just released a new poll of Iraq. You can read an excerpt of the Gallup analysis at the archive of LBO-talk, a listserv moderated by Doug Henwood, the editor of the Left Business Observer.
What makes the current occupation of Iraq so very American -- notwithstanding the shrinking multicultural Coalition of the Willing -- is the occupier's apparent determination to poll, caucus, and focus-group the occupied to death.
If any independent film-maker is plotting a satirical attack on the US occupation of Iraq, I'd suggest that the film's protagonist (or rather its straight man) be a hapless Iraqi surveyor employed by an American polling firm.
