62% of Iraqis say their country is headed in the right direction.

You heard it here. USAToday reports that 62% of Iraqis believe Iraq is headed in the right direction. 23% say it is headed in the wrong direction.

44% of Americans believe our country is headed in the right direction. 56% of Americans say Iraq is heading in the right direction, while 57% disapprove of Bush's handling of Iraq.

No grand point here, other than my belief that the anti-Bush numbers could be an American "death and dismemberment" number, akin to the anti-occupation numbers in Iraq.

I'll be interested to see what the "was it worth it?" numbers is in ten years. That number right now is worthless IMHO. The pain of death is too near in time to objectively judge.
