Uh, not really, most Iraqis were horrified by that act.
Frankly, the Nick Berg murder was a reminder of how barbaric our enemy truly is. Those terrorists also killed schoolgirls in Basra a few weeks back.
Most Iraqis are appalled by that. The respect for the coalition in Iraq and opposition to violence is there in Iraq:

The saddest incident for the citizens during my last visit was the death of a coalition soldier from Netherlands in a grenade attack. The small town was shocked and I could hear everyone say, “who did this crime is a stranger and he’s not of us for sure”.
Many of the town’s known figures, officials and tribal leaders headed to the coalition base to declare their support to the coalition and to condemn the crime, one of those men said-with apparent affection-during the funeral ceremonies “our loss is big and we feel ashamed; you’re our guests but we couldn’t protect your men’s live; we’re terribly sorry”.
Blurry eyed thank you for the post.
