I seriously doubt that US army as the same latitude in Iraq or
anywhere else in the Muslim world.


The fact that the US has been able to enlist something like 60,000 Iraquis
to work for them suggests to me that not everybody sees the US as their
oppressor.

I haven't said and I will never say that US are Iraq oppressors.
Just want to say that in my point of view US credit is going down in
Muslim world.

There seem to be two major sources of disruption in Iraq that
have little or nothing to do with the wishes of the average man in the
street. These are the Baath party members who are likely to become dead meat
in the long run, and foreign terrorists who are full of fundamentalist
bravado and have come to Iraq to go hand-to-hand with the US Military.


I would like to be as optimist as you are, it's a sincere wish.
