Millions also applaud Pres Bush...especially the Iraqi people. Despite new government appointees being picked off daily, there's no shortage of volunteers to fill the positions. The terrorists in Iraq are mostly al Qaeda members with the assistance of former Hussein henchmen. How long will you maintain the charade that things are not that bad in Iraq; that its not the Iraqis but al Qa'ida or the Syrians or the Iranians or the fedayeen? Pretending that things are okay is only hurting us. BTW, are these some of the Iraqis you were mentioning: "Moments after the thunderous blast, which shook the heart of the capital, young men raced into the street, hurling stones at the flaming wreckage, looting personal belongings of the victims and chanting slogans against the occupation. Iraqi police stood by helplessly unable to control the crowd only weeks before they are to assume more security responsibility under the U.S. exit strategy. As flames and smoke enveloped the vehicles, youths taunted American troops and threatened Western journalists. American troops beat one man with a stick, but after failing to restrain the crowd, the troops and police withdrew. Crowds chanted ''Down with the USA!'' and set fire to an American flag. Young men gleefully displayed a British passport and identification card issued by the Coalition Provisional Authority. As the police left, the crowd poured kerosene into one of the vehicles and set it on fire. Heavy, black smoke poured from the vehicle. About 20 youths danced around a charred body. " boston.com
