A total of 2500 Iraqis were quizzed for a group of international broadcasting organizations, including the BBC, in a poll to mark the first anniversary of the US-led occupation.

Asked what political system they believed was needed in their country, 86 percent said they wanted democracy, but 81 percent said a single strong Iraqi leader was needed.
