Ironically, these were the people who benefited most by the overthrow of Saddam......the Shia. "The Shia" are not the same as the "Sadr-ists". Most Shiites and most Suni do not hold animousity toward the United States and basically concur with our actions. There is a very small, vocal minority that the media zeroes in on. Totally not representative of the population of Iraq. This is what we get for meddling in another country's affairs. WHAT is "what we get"? A guy throwing a shoe? That's it? We didn't "meddle" in Iraq's affairs. We liberated them from tyranny. The guy is being recognized as a hero throughout the Arab world. Even Iraqis who feel it was a rude thing to do to a guest agree with the sentiment behind it. No, not most Iraqis. Some agree with the sentiment, but the numbers are small. Most of the "agreement" comes from outside Iraq.
