"Prespond" - that's great. And I was just reading: "Nothing will change until the Americans leave," said al-Deen, 33, at his home in Baghdad's Saydiyah neighborhood. "The resistance will not stop until the Americans go away. Once they leave, we can then only figure out if there is any hope of the Sunnis and Shiites coming together." While his troubles are greater than most, al-Deen's pessimism reflects a growing despondence among Iraqis in the capital. Many Iraqis are looking at June 28 not as a watershed day in the nation's history but as a benchmark in the intractable guerrilla war that has gripped much of the country for the last year. The dour mood of Baghdad residents seems to mirror the frustration of Americans and U.S. lawmakers. In recent weeks, polls indicate that a majority of Americans think that invading Iraq was a mistake, and several lawmakers have called on the president to draw up an exit strategy. On Tuesday night, President Bush is to deliver a televised address from Ft. Bragg, N.C., in an attempt to reassure Americans that things are going well in Iraq and to emphasize the importance of staying the course. chicagotribune.com
