color=#000000 size=2>DURHAM, N.C. – Despite strong early
support for the Iraq war in the South, the region’s opposition
to the war now matches national levels –- and by some measures
frustration is higher in the South than elsewhere in the
country. <BR><BR>Those are the findings of a new public
opinion poll run by the Institute for Southern Studies and the
School of Public and International Affairs at North Carolina
State University.<BR></FONT></P>

color=#000000 size=2>The national survey, which included a

Iraq war since the Bush Administration pressed for military
action four years ago.<BR></FONT></P>

color=#000000 size=2>The survey reveals that Southerners,
after showing disproportionate support for the war early on,
now doubt U.S. policy in Iraq just as strongly as people in
other regions of the country, and in some cases more so. Among
the findings:<BR></FONT></P>

have stayed out and 43% now agree with military
action.<BR></FONT></P>

color=#000000 size=2>*** <B>Southerners are skeptical about
the goals of the Iraq mission. </B>29% of Southerners agree
with the Bush Administration’s position that "Iraq is the
central front in the war on terrorism," compared to 25%
nationally. But 30% in Southern states –- the same as the
national average –- believe the main reason the U.S. is in
Iraq is "to ensure access to oil."<BR></FONT></P>
<P>*** By at least one measure, Southerners are more
frustrated with the war than their counterparts in other
regions. Asked if they were "proud" or "sad" about Iraq, a
surprising <B>62% of respondents in the South said they were
“very sad” about the course of the war,</B> compared to only
56% in other regions of the country. Only 10% of those
surveyed in the South say they are "somewhat proud" or "very
proud" of the Iraq mission –- slightly less than those polled
in other states.<BR></P>
<P>*** <B>30% of those polled in Southern states say the U.S.
should "withdraw completely" from Iraq.</B> Those in
non-Southern states were less likely to call for a total
withdrawal of U.S. troops (26%), but more likely to think U.S.
troop levels should be decreased "some" or "a lot" -- 34% in
non-Southern states, compared to 26% in the South. Put
together, 56% of Southerners and 59% in other regions support
a decrease or withdrawal of U.S. troops. </P>
<P>The results signal a shift in Southern attitudes towards
Iraq. As recently as July 2005, a Pew Center poll found 53% of
Southerners believed using military force against Iraq was
"the right decision," the highest level of support in the
country. Most polls since 2002 have shown support for the Iraq
war in Southern states rating higher than, or even with,
national attitudes. </P>
<P>"The depth and strength of anti-war sentiment in the South
is eye-opening, given the region’s high level of military
pride and early embrace of U.S. policy in Iraq," says Chris
Kromm, director of the non-partisan Institute based in Durham,
N.C. "The current Washington leadership has counted on
Southern states as a bastion of support on Iraq, but clearly
that support is deteriorating." </P>

color=#000000 size=2>FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Like anyone who’s
worked at a job for 10 years, Quincey Harvey had some stories
to tell. But Mr. Harvey worked at the Smithfield Packing Plant
in North Carolina, so his stories were more gruesome than
most. <BR><BR>There was the time he accidentally stuck a knife
through his hand – but had to wait 45 minutes and take a urine
test before plant personnel took him to a hospital. Another
day, while he was changing clothes, a block of 14 lockers that
were not secured fell and pinned him, injuring his legs. The
company said the incident would not be considered
work-related. <BR><BR>Finally, after six years of cutting
whole hog carcasses down the middle with a 100-pound “split
saw,” Harvey developed a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder,
which required surgery. Again, company officials told him that
the injury wasn’t job-related. He was fired after 13 weeks on
medical leave. <BR><BR>Mr. Harvey joined nine other current
and former Smithfield workers at a press conference and “speak
out” in early September to tell their story about life inside
the company’s massive plant in Tarheel, N.C. <BR><BR>The
stories are eye-opening, and beg the question -- where are the
government regulators tasked with protecting workers on the
job?<BR></FONT></P>
