Majorities of Iraqi youth in Arab regions of the country believe security would improve and violence decrease if the U.S.- led forces left immediately, according to a State Department poll that provides a window into the grim warnings provided to policymakers.

The survey -- unclassified, but marked "For Official U.S. Government Use Only" -- also finds that Iraqi leaders may face particular difficulty recruiting young Sunni Arab Sunni areas--Mosul and Tikrit-Baquba-- would oppose joining the Iraqi army or police.

The poll has its shortcomings; regional samples are small and results do not say how many people refused to respond to questions. The private polling firm hired by the State Department also was not able to interview residents of al-Anbar, a Sunni-dominated province and an insurgent stronghold.

Think about it.

...much if they do.
