This isn't Somalia and we're not leaving but it's mind boggling to think that even outside of Falujah where 71% think it's ok to attack us, 17% of Iraqis think it's ok to attack us.

If 80% of Iraqis are adults, then that's more than 3 million people. That's a lot of support for attacking us when we were expecting flowers, flags and dancing in the streets. After all, we're bringing in billions to rebuild schools, infrastructure and get the oil flowing...you'd think they'd be more appreciative.

Think how bad it would be if we weren't shuffling billions from our middle class to the Iraqis.

Next up: Afghans who want $28b over the next 7 years, likely 1/2 or more of that from us. That's just aid, doesn't include military expenditures or the cost of letting Afghanistan become the heroin capital of the world.
