[Theophylact]

From CNN.

Actually the Iraqi's are cheering the Marines.

It just happens that this time its a dead marine.

Ya know, that glass parking lot is looking more and more attractive as an option.

Do iraqis cheer at the scene of every attack or is this an isolate event.

I fully expect there to be Iraqis who do not like america and her soldiers. But for all the attacks I have heard of, this is the first time I hear about cheering. I am sure that CNN and the BBC would push such stories to the front of the cue.

I think most citizens in Iraq actually hate the U.S. and I personally have no idea how Bush is going to "liberate" them

Well according to a single source from within Iraq's borders it would appear as if most Iraqis do not hate us.

Many mistrust us, very few actually hate the USA IMO. I would say this is borne out by the fact there are very few uprisings, and attacks. 25 million people hating 150,000 targets leaves alot of potential for attacks.

You can't honestly blame them thought can you? Sure they are free from dictatorship but what did we put in its place? Martial law? They have anarchy right now, essentialy no government. Imaging that tomorrow you woke up with no police, no firefighters or social workers. That is what Iraqis are experiencing right now.

Apparently the ACME government-in-a-box kit hasn't arrived yet. FedEx has really gone downhill!

These things take time. Even Indiana Jones set off the boulder trap in the Mayan temple when he tried to switch out the bag of sand for the gold statue - let alone an entire government. I understand their frustration, but deep down i think they all understand this point.

Acme apparently does have a product ready to order.

Next time please check your facts cyphen
