The US, 74% of the people do not like the war and want us out. Australia it is 66%. But they are still there. So much for the democratic thing huh?


Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Almost two-thirds of Australians oppose the nation's involvement in Iraq and nearly three- quarters said it made the country a terror target, a new survey showed.

Some 64 percent opposed Australian soldiers serving in Iraq and 73 percent said it made the nation a terror target, according to a survey by the United States Study Centre at the University of Sydney. Prime Minister John Howard set up the center in November 2006 with a A$25 million ($22.1 million) grant.

The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
