From the new USA/CNN/Gallup Poll, more than 50% of respondents feel that Iraq was a "mistake." Although much of the rest of the poll shows a fairly tight race, the Iraq questions are really important as we see today's escalation of violence in that nation. The coordinated and devastating attacks at 5 locations in Iraq have marked renewed armed resistance to American occupation and the establishment of Iraqi democracy.

The poll also shows that the Iraq "mistake" numbers have propelled the conflict to discontent approaching that of Vietnam.
