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.

And the Muslim worlds credit is **** in the US. Many people are of
the opinion that these people are incapable of policing themselves.


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.

Except the foreigners are committing more terrorism against the
Iraqis to intimidate against cooperation than direct attacks on US
forces. I hope they accelerate the training and deployment of Iraqi
security forces.

A big mistake not to do it earlier.
Also a mistake was disbanding the army and not paying the soldiers.
