In 2004 and 2006, I was involved in conducting two nationwide public opinion surveys in Iraq. Contrasting the findings of these surveys demonstrates that over the two years when sectarian violence has increased, Iraqis increasingly view their fate in a national, rather than communal, context.
我在2004年和2006年两度参与了在伊拉克进行的全国性民意调查。两次调查结果的比照表明在过去的两年中，随着宗派暴力的增加，伊拉克人开始越来越多地站在国家而不是宗派的立场上审视自己的命运。
