Most Americans opposed to war of aggression on Iraq
Majority of Americans are now opposed to the US war of aggression on Iraq, according to two separate surveys published on January 18. The results contradict President George W. Bush�s view that his reelection demonstrated the American people�s support for the war.
A Washington Post/ABC News survey showed that 55% of Americans believe it was wrong to have launched the war against Iraq as opposed to 44% who approved of it. Fifty-five percent of Americans do not believe that the Iraqi government will stabilize after an election is held. A USA Today/CNN/Gallup survey had similar results, with 52% of Americans not in favor of sending occupation troops to Iraq.
Meanwhile, criticisms mounted on Bush�s lavish inaugural on January 20. Up to $60 million was spent on nine inaugural balls. Of this, $20 million was spent to secure the White House. Some 6,000 uniformed and plainclothes police forces and 2,500 soldiers were deployed in Washington, DC to keep a huge anti-Bush demonstration at bay.
