Or, perhaps this is seen as more of a problem by outsiders than iraqis. Or it is more of a problem for country than city folk. I've basically taken a walk on this question of Iraqi public opinion, frank, in case it wasn't clear. I was just punting back and forth with Nadine, not terribly serious. I assume that the huge bulk of Kurds in the North and Shiites in the South (with the possible exception of a few who might get some favors from Saddam) will be delighted by the US arrival, with the qualifier among the Shiites of some worry about us staying too long and the qualifier among the Kurds of anger/worry over the several times we've betrayed them. Where it gets tough is with the Sunnis in the center. There I suspect it's anyone's guess, and only a guess.
