Poll: U.S. Not Safer Because Of Iraq War
A Washington Post-ABC news poll said more than half of Americans think the fight has not made the United States any safer.
Fifty-two percent said the war has not contributed to the long-term security of the United States, while 47 percent disagree.
At a time when Washington is shifting attention to Social Security and other home front issues, the survey finds that Iraq still ranks second only to the economy in the minds of Americans, many of whom are losing patience.
Nearly three-quarters of Americans said there are too many casualties, and nearly six in 10 say the war is not worth fighting. The pollsters report that matches or exceeds the highest levels of pessimism recorded so far.
More than four in 10 said the war reminds them of Vietnam.
