Two Iraqi chidren and a US soldier.

The optimism that helped sustain Iraqis during the first few years of the war has dissolved into widespread fear, anger and distress, a survey found.
The poll - the third in Iraq since early 2004 by ABC News and media partners - draws a stark portrait of an increasingly pessimistic population under great emotional stress. Among the findings of this survey for ABC News, USA Today, the BBC and ARD German TV:
-The number of Iraqis who say their own life is going well has dipped from 71 percent in November 2005 to 39 percent now.
-About three-fourths of Iraqis report feelings of anger, depression and difficulty concentrating.
-More than half of Iraqis have curtailed activities like going out of their homes, going to markets or other crowded places and traveling through policecheckpoints.
-Only 18 percent of Iraqis have confidence in US and coalition troops, and 86 percent are concerned that someone in their household will be a victim of violence.
-Slightly more than half of Iraqis - 51 percent - now say that violence against US forces is acceptable - up from 17 percent who felt that way in early 2004. More than nine in 10 Sunni Arabs in Iraq now feel this way.
-While 63 percent said they felt very safe in their neighborhoods in late 2005, only 26 percent feel that way now.
The major cause for this sharp reversal in Iraqi attitudes is the continuing violence - bombings, attacks and kidnappings - that has overwhelmed the country since the US invasion four years ago this week.
Eighty percent of Iraqis surveyed reported some kind of violence nearby, according to the nationally representative survey conducted Feb. 25 to March 5 among 2,212 Iraqis.
Iraqi civilian deaths are estimated at more than 54,000, possibly much higher. More than half of Iraqis surveyed said a friend or relative has been hurt or killed in the violence, while almost nine in 10 worried that a loved one will be hurt.

據(jù)一項(xiàng)民意調(diào)查顯示，伊戰(zhàn)前幾年支撐著伊拉克人艱難度日的樂(lè)觀態(tài)度如今已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)變成了普遍的恐懼、憤怒和痛苦。
這項(xiàng)民意調(diào)查是美國(guó)廣播公司新聞網(wǎng)和其他媒體從2004年初開(kāi)始在伊拉克所做的第三個(gè)同類調(diào)查。此項(xiàng)調(diào)查是對(duì)生活在巨大精神壓力下、越來(lái)越悲觀的伊拉克人的真實(shí)寫照。這項(xiàng)由美國(guó)廣播公司新聞網(wǎng)、今日美國(guó)、英國(guó)廣播公司和ARD德國(guó)電視臺(tái)聯(lián)合開(kāi)展的調(diào)查結(jié)果如下：
對(duì)生活狀況滿意的伊拉克民眾比例從2005年11月的71%下降到現(xiàn)在的39%。
約四分之三的伊拉克人感到憤怒、低落、難以集中注意力。
超過(guò)一半的伊拉克人不出門、不去市場(chǎng)或其它人多的場(chǎng)所、而且避免通過(guò)檢查站。
只有18%的伊拉克人對(duì)美軍及聯(lián)盟部隊(duì)還有信心，86%的民眾擔(dān)心家里的人會(huì)受到暴力的襲擊。
略多于一半的伊拉克人（51%）認(rèn)為對(duì)美軍進(jìn)行暴力襲擊可以接受，遠(yuǎn)高于2004年初的17%。超過(guò)90%的遜尼派阿拉伯人表示可以接受。
只有26%的人認(rèn)為自己的居住區(qū)很安全，而這一比例在2005年末為63%。
伊拉克民眾對(duì)這些問(wèn)題態(tài)度的顯著轉(zhuǎn)變主要原因在于，從四年前美國(guó)發(fā)動(dòng)伊戰(zhàn)開(kāi)始，伊拉克便頻頻暴發(fā)爆炸、武裝襲擊和綁架等暴力事件。
一項(xiàng)針對(duì)2212名伊拉克民眾的全國(guó)性調(diào)查表明，80%的受訪民眾稱居住地附近發(fā)生過(guò)暴力事件。此項(xiàng)調(diào)查從2月25日持續(xù)至3月5日。
據(jù)估計(jì)，伊拉克平民的死亡人數(shù)已超過(guò)54000人，實(shí)際數(shù)字可能更多。超過(guò)一半的受訪民眾稱，自己的朋友或親戚曾在暴力事件中受傷或死亡。近90%的民眾擔(dān)心自己所愛(ài)的人會(huì)因暴力事件而受傷。
