Channel 4 has commissioned a poll to find out what Iraqis think of the war being waged in their country.

The Iraqi invasion five years ago has divided opinion across the world.

Many people opposed military action against Saddam Hussein's regime from the very beginning.



Others supported the invasion, but changed their minds when weapons of mass destruction weren't found and coalition troops struggled in vain to stop the sectarian violence gripping the country.

Four thousand people have given their views, of these a quarter say they've seen a relative killed since 2003.
