Special report: Tension escalates in Iraq

    WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Despite the Bush administration's assertion that Iraq serves as the central ground for the war on terror, the latest survey showed most Americans think the two were separate things.

    The poll, released by CNN Wednesday, found 53 percent of respondents didn't think the war in Iraq was part of the war on terror while 45 percent did.

    Another survey conducted by Pew Research Center showed two-thirds said their countries were less respected by other countries than they were before and 68 percent picked the Iraq war as a top reason for it.

    The same poll also found by 45 percent to 32 percent, Americans were more likely to think the best way to reduce terror threat is to cut, not add, U.S. military presence overseas.

    The poll results came out at a time when U.S. President George W. Bush is making a series of speeches to highlight the issue of national security, a traditional strong area for the Republicans, two months ahead of the midterm elections. Enditem
