No, there was dramatic effect but I wasn't supplying it. Shortly after we completed the invasion of Iraq there was a pilgrimage in Iraq that involved hundreds of thousands of the faithful. A spontaneous demonstration erupted during that pilgrimage and during the course of that demonstration there were hundreds of thousands of Iraqis chanting "death to Israel, death to America." The scary thing about it was that this occurred so soon after we'd relieved the Iraqis of the brutal Saddam regime. I keep hearing how we don't get all the "good news" in Iraq. The fact is that unless you watch public television you don't really get all the bad news either.
