The government and justice? Maybe sometimes if we're lucky. Talk about failing to capture hearts and minds: guardian.co.uk "...Abbas, 24, listed the standard complaints against the Americans, which are now common among Iraqis of every background, creed and political persuasion. 'We were happy when they got rid of Saddam,' he said. 'They promised democracy, prosperity and freedom. But they lied.' Coalition officials say that 'foreign fighters and international terrorists' are leading the resistance in Falluja. In fact, the rebels are largely composed of local Iraqis, stiffened by groups of criminals, former Baathists and foreign Islamic militants. Though the inhabitants of the city do not represent all Iraqis, their battle is popular with many. The Observer interviewed one senior Falluja fighter in a local taxi driving around Baghdad. With American patrols just yards away, 'Abu Nimr' said his strong Islamic beliefs had led him to fight Saddam's regime and then the Americans. 'They have come to our country to destroy Islam. It is my duty to fight them,' he said...." ===The RNC should be using its money to propagandize in Iraq instead of in the US.
