I've heard the BBC talk to only two kinds of Iraqi: those who are frustrated by lack of progress and feel the Americans have broken their promises; and those who just hate the Americans and want them to leave.
Really? What about this article?

The first Iraqi refugees to be repatriated since the fall of Saddam Hussein have made an emotional return to their homeland.
More than 240 refugees set foot in Iraq on Wednesday after 13 years of exile in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
There were tears of joy as the families, most with small children, embraced relatives upon their arrival in the southern port town of Umm Qasr. ...
Layla Hassan went to Rafha aged just three but, after living almost all her life in Saudi Arabia, the veiled 16-year-old was ecstatic to be in Iraq.
"I am home. I am Iraqi. I dreamed of this day," she said.
Mohammed Qassem, 35, broke down in tears as he spotted his brother, Abdul-Karim, who had fled their town of Kurnat Ali in 1991.
Despite police attempts to keep him away from the vehicle, Qassem managed to kiss his brother through the glass pane of the bus door. |
