When questioned, Iraqi's seemed quite mixed in their view of which person they'd like to see in the White House beginning in 2005. Much of their
views are dictated by their feelings about the presence of American troops and are divided largely along ethnic and sectarian lines with Kurds being
pro-American, Shi'ites initially having favored American intervention but now being resentful of it, and Sunnis being fiercely anti-American.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Some see U.S. presidential challenger Senator John Kerry as an articulate war hero with credentials to lead a superpower, others are grateful President Bush toppled Saddam Hussein
But even if Iraqis could vote in the U.S. presidential elections, few believe either man will save their country from daily carnage.
"Bush should just retire. He has given me nothing but headaches. He removed Saddam and gave us many other big problems. America needs a new leader," said Abbas Muhammad.
"Now Iraq has huge problems. I like Kerry but I really don't think much will change here even if Iraqis could vote in America."

One of the most interesting comments in the article came from a middle-aged contruction manager in Iraq who said that he believed it wouldn't matter who wins as American policies in the Middle East are determined by Israel. It was interesting to see how an individual like that shares such a controversial view with many Americans.
