Yeah, it is terribly likely that millions of Iraqis didn't care that the regime brought down on them misery and persecution, and supported Hussein anyway. Where do you get this stuff? One of those "Mystic 8 balls"? This is not empathy, it is Bilow trying to save face by making bizarre assumptions. So you think that it worth there while to become targets of the resistance, which you portray as ubiquitous and growing, for a few extra bucks, even as businesses are opening and the economic situation is improving? Right, chief. You said that the populace was not merely hostile, but afraid, and therefore we could not trust what they might say to a camera or pollster. I am offering evidence that they are not particularly afraid of us. I doubt the Administration is very surprised, either.
