The point is that the iraqi people don't want us there.

How do you know this Lizzie? I think the jury is still convening. It seems pretty clear that the people are terrified of Saddam loyalists for good reason. Until some of Saddam's ruthless loyalists are out of the way, we really won't know what the Iraqi people want.

You must also consider that we hung a lot of Iraqi people out to dry when we stopped at the border during the first Gulf War, so if I were an Iraqi, I would probably consider it pretty risky to openly welcome the coalition forces. The conservative thing for any Iraqi to do who actually is glad our forces are there, is to lay low until they are certain Saddam's thugs and terrorists are defeated.

You could be right, but the fact there are not alot Iraqi's putting up welcome banners means nothing imo.

Regards, Huey
