But it could be that the locals see each other as the enemy and the US as just a foreign power from a long ways away that is going to disappear soon enough.

It used to be an every day occurrence. But there are insurgents inside the green zone now.

The neocons [sometimes known as regressives] are in an awkward position. They know there is going to be a change in Iraq to something they've long criticized as the wrong approach. They just don't know what it is yet and have to wait until Bush blesses it before they can say it's the right thing to do.
