THE IRAQIS HAVE MORE PATIENCE THAN THE MEDIA

Since all we hear in the media is how disappointed the Iraqis are with our presence, it's interesting to see the recent Gallop Poll that says 67% of Iraqis think their country will be better off in five years. NPR was hilarious this morning stating that the poll wasn't scientific since the Iraqis have no phones. NPR didn't bother to mention that their sound bytes featuring disgruntled Iraqis weren’t scientific either. In fact, it might be nice to hear NPR tell listeners that none of their man-on-the-street interviews are scientific. I would be interested in hearing how many Rah Rah Rah Iraqis NPR has to cross of the list before they find a disgruntled one. For fairness though, NPR ended their several minute Bush bash with an Iraqi woman who said that people should have patience, things will get better.
