The Globe and Mail: Americans think Iraq raises risk of attacks: poll

The Globe and Mail

Americans think Iraq raises risk of attacks: poll

A growing number of Americans fear the war in Iraq is undermining the fight against terrorism and raising the risk of terrorist attacks in their country, a poll found. Almost one-half, 47 per cent, said the war in Iraq has hurt the fight against terrorism — the highest number to say that since the war began in March 2003, the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press said. And about the same number, 45 per cent, said soon after the first round of subway bombings in London the war in Iraq is raising the risk of terrorism in their country. That's up from 36 per cent last fall.
