Nearly half of the people questioned by Pew worried that the war in Iraq
is undermining the fight against terrorism.

But over half think we should stay there until it's *stable*.


The survey, taken soon after the first London subway bombings, shows 47 percent of those asked feel Iraq has hurt the fight against terrorism. Forty-five percent also think Iraq is raising the risk of terror attacks in this country, up nine points from a poll last fall.

Even with the questions over Iraq, more than half -- 52 percent -- favor staying in the country until it's stable and nearly half still support the decision to go to war.

1. Nearly half, means the word is not getting out
The world is much more dangerous with dubby at the helm. His war without end is putting the entire planet in danger.
