Poll: Most Iraqis accept US troops

BAGHDAD -- A *GROWING** number of Iraqis thinks US troops should stay in Iraq until the security situation improves, research published this month has found.

In a survey carried out by the Psychological Research Center of Baghdad University, 71.5 percent of Iraqis think the US occupation is necessary at least for a while, compared to 42 percent in a survey by the center in June.

"This shows an acceptance of the foreign presence as a temporary solution because of the fear, confusion and absence of law and order following the collapse of the old regime," the report said.

President Bush said yesterday more troops could be sent to Iraq if necessary to secure the country.

The study also showed 63.2 percent approved of the Governing Council, appointed by the US occupying authorities in July, as a first step toward stability and a new Iraq. Only 36.8 percent said the Council merely reinforced the occupation.

The research was carried out in a sample of 1,000 people from different sectors of the population all over the country of about 26 million people, which has seen security deteriorate amid a mounting insurgency against US forces.

But the study, which included Kurdish areas in the north, showed more Iraqis now favored a monarchy along Islamic lines.

Of 53.3 percent of respondents who favored a monarchy from a series of choices, about 70 percent said they preferred it to be "Islamic." Of the 46.7 percent who favored a republic, 75 percent said it should have an Islamic flavor. Only 20 percent of respondents favored a monarchy in the earlier study and only 8 percent chose "Islamic government."

A royalist party has been set up by a member of the British-backed Hashemite monarchy that ruled Iraq until a 1958 coup, one of dozens of new political parties.

Islamic groups now dominate Iraq's political arena after three decades of secular Baath Party rule ended this year.

"This is an indicator of the importance that citizens hope Islamic ideology will have in their future government," the report said, adding that the monarchy was seen as untainted by the repression of the Baathist era.

Harith Hassan, head of the research team, said he would send the results to US administrator L. Paul Bremer III.


Oh SHITE!!! Not only do they want the Yanks to stay and be democratic, but they want a "Royal Family".......

Bloody Hell..FG, this must be your worst nightmare.!!!
