Huey, besides being encouraged by Iran as well as their own clerics, who have been spewing anti-American rhetoric so long they don't know anything else, the Shiites are unsurprisingly exercising their newfound political voice in Iraq. The government will be a somewhat precarious balance between majority Shiites and minority Sunnis and Kurds (and a few smaller groups). Shiites in Iraq have been an oppressed majority for so long, it's not surprising that they feel insecure. The Kurds are the only ones openly pro-American right now - remember, many of them have been free of Saddam for a few years already. Things (including the rhetoric) will settle down as talks progress toward a new government and as rebuilding and aid restore the basic necessities of day-to-day life.

JMO,
Bob
