If this is a valid indicator, try to imagine the sentiment of the Iraqi population who are having their women and children attacked on a daily basis...

Osama bin Laden's standing has dropped significantly in some key Muslim countries, while support for suicide bombings and other acts of violence has "declined dramatically," according to a new survey released today.
In a striking finding, predominantly Muslim populations in a sampling of six North African, Middle East and Asian countries also shared to "a considerable degree" Western nations' concerns about Islamic extremism, the survey found. Many in those Muslim nations see it as threat to their own country, the poll found.
"Most Muslim publics are expressing less support for terrorism than in the past. Confidence in Osama bin Laden has declined markedly in some countries, and fewer believe suicide bombings that target civilians are justified in the defense of Islam," concluded the Pew Global Attitudes Project.
Compared with previous surveys, the new poll also found growing majorities or pluralities of Muslims surveyed now say democracy can work in their countries and is not just a political system for the West. Support for democracy was in the 80 percent range in Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon and Morocco; in Pakistan and Turkey, where significant numbers of respondents were unsure, it rated 43 percent and 48 percent respectively.

Well that's certainly encourging. This is the key to winning this war. They lose their backing and support and it'll be over.
I blame all the success on George W. Bush.

Unfortunately the Cut and Run Liberals will overlook this little tidbit and continue to run down our efforts around the world.
The Liberal Left has decided to undercut the President on every issue, including freedom for oppressed people around the world.
This is simply a strategic plan to posture themselves by pandering to their liberal base before the 06 elections.
They just don't get the message that was sent loud and clear during the last Presidential election. The people are tired of just getting lip service from their elected officials. Actions speaks louder than words and all the voters witness is inaction from the Democratic Left.
