Two reports on "surveys" came out on Iraq, good new and bad news. Let's talk about the bad first:
Iraq Survey from USA Today: Hope Draining Away
"A survey sponsored jointly by USA TODAY, ABC News, the British Broadcasting Corp. and ARD, a German TV network find a nation that in large measure has fragmented into fear. Six in 10 Iraqis say their lives are going badly. Only one-third expect things to improve in the next year."
Or so the survey goes. It paints a lot of doom and gloom. Now let's look at the good news:
British Opinion Poll: Life is getting better!
On the very same day, another survey shows that Iraqi's feel life is getting better! Definately better than when Saddam was in control. Only 21% feel they're in a "civil war", and by a margin of 2 to 1 they feel the increase in soldiers is a good thing. This survey asked 5000 people, the other was only 2100 or so.
What does this prove? Surveys can say whatever you want them too! I *hate* surveys for this very reason, you can extrapolate any piece of information to prove any point you want to. On the exact same day, we have two survey saying just about the opposite thing! Surveys are just crap! Like how can you accurately tell how many citizens have been killed from a survey? Just plain stoopid.
What we need are more cold hard facts, detailed both aspects of the war (failures and successes). You know how many soldiers have died in this war, when was the last time you heard how many terrorists or insurgents have died? Has anyone told you how many schools have been built? What about the percentage of people on power/water/etc? Let's see numbers before the war, and numbers now. You'd be surprised (I'm working on it, will be in my Answers section).

| But it’s good to know the technology has become so stable that your MALCOLM IN MIDDLE could be viewable that far down the road. All you really need is for your MALCOLM IN MIDDLE DVD to be viable when some unknown descendant decides to transfer your humble 2000-something video onto their own next-generation media. The bottom line is that you should never shop for archival MALCOLM IN MIDDLE DVD COLLECTION based on price. |
