Libya will be next Iraq: Britons survey

Seven out of 10 Britons are concerned action in Libya could result in forces being sucked into a long Iraq-style conflict, a poll showed on Tuesday, while nearly half said the government should not have intervened militarily.
The ComRes poll carried out for the Independent newspaper found 47% think the government was wrong to launch air strikes against Muammar Gaddafi, while 43% approve of the decision.
A ComRes/ITN poll undertaken only a week ago found that 43% of the public disagreed with the action, suggesting opposition was hardening. 
Tuesday's poll found that 71% of those questioned feared the intervention could drag on, despite Prime Minister David Cameron insisting that Libya is "not another Iraq".
Respondents' views were split along party political lines. A majority (58%) of Conservative voters, the leading voice in the coalition government, backed the intervention. 
That compared to 45% of Liberal Democrat supporters - the junior coalition partner - favouring action, and 46% of supporters of the opposition Labour Party agreeing.
ComRes interviewed a random sample of 1 000 adults by telephone between March 25 and March 27.
