A poll by the main Danish daily the Berlingske Tidende indicates that 63 percent Danes want to bring their troops home from Iraq.
Published on Thursday, the survey reveals a rift between public opinion and the government's expressed plans to keep the soldiers in the war-torn country.
About 41% of the Danes questioned said Denmark, which has 525 soldiers in Iraq, should set a date for pulling them out, while 22% said the government should call the troops home immediately, according to the Gallup poll of 1015 people conducted between 18 and 20 January.
Thirty-five percent of those polled said they felt the Danish soldiers should stay in Iraq as long as they are needed. Two per cent of those polled were undecided.
Given that you don't expressly reveal your identity as a Dane anywhere on your blog, your focus on Danish public opinion might strike the uninitiated as odd -- after all, who gives a fuck what the Danes think? But then again, your name, in spite of the bastardized Swedish spelling, is something of a giveaway. And of course, it is hard to be humble... -- Lars
