The caption under a picture of a bombed out, ruined home reads: Any chance that tribespeople in this rural area south of Baghdad would look kindly on the impending arrival of American troops may have vanished in a cloud of collapsing rubble and twisted steel.

I still remember the quote from an Afghani whose home was accidentally bombed with some of his extended family inside (some died). He essentially said 'It'll be worth it if the Americans actually help us'. Or, in another example, many WWII concentration camp internees prayed that the Allies would bomb their camp.
