Like the French, they will never forgive us for saving them.

Thats for sure.
What a whiney article. "A year later the infrastructure is still poor..." No sh$t, Sherlock. I guess they forgot that for the first 6 months, they themselves sabotaged repairs.
Not to mention that it was crumbling because Sadazz was busy lining his pockets and those of the French with money sent to take care of his peeps.
Was this an editorial on Err America?

Bush, and the secular west, have not declared war on Islam. We have not targeted Mecca, Medina or mosques. Bush has invited Islamic clerics to offer prayers at events, in order to show that we bear no ill will toward Islamics around the world.

Contrast this approach with the constant call to war against the west by some of these Islamics. Witness also their unceasing terrorist attacks on anything related to the secular west.

And yet the media wants to portray them as innocent victims of our imperial rapacity.

Bush is the enemy of Islam

That's the greatest thing I've heard in a long time. No doubt GW is get'n the job done.

[mountaineer]

while they were happy to be rid of Saddam Hussein, 41 percent said they were humiliated by the invasion, four in 10 had no confidence in occupation troops, and one in five believed attacks on foreign soldiers in Iraq were justified.

So about six in 10 weren't humiliated by the invasion, six in 10 do have confidence in "occupation" troops and four out of five don't believe attacks on coalition troops? You might think so, but not in Reuters' view of things. Typical.

[DustyMoment]

Ya know, I don't believe much of this story. It comes across as another in the long series of anti-Bush hit pieces.

Here are the problems I have with it:
1) the bulk of the damnage to the Iraqi infrastructure was done by Saddam before American troops arrived AND before the missiles and bombs were released. The missiles that were launched were precision guided devices that aimed at specific targets, NOT infrastructure elements such as power and water. The bombs were also precision devices dropped on specific targets. This issue doesn't wash.
2) most Iraqis are finding jobs or creating their own businesses. The ones having difficulty are, likely, former Iraqi Red Guard and Fedayeen Saddam members who only know death and violence. They have no other marketable skills.
3) no matter how frustrated anyone is, that is no reason to murder and mutilate the people who are trying to help you. The soldiers there are doing everything in their power to improve life for ordinary Iraqis and the civilians they murdered in Fallujah were guarding food convoys to make sure that they could get enough to eat.

We have repeatedly been told that the Iraqis are well educated, but stories such as this belie what we have been told. If they think life under Saddam was tough, they will really hate living under the oppressive domination of Americans who are fed up with their non-stop attacks, murder and destruction if we decide to clamp down on them. This stuff needs to stop and Bremer and the coalition forces need to stop the PC games and take off the gloves. We can control and eradicate the attacks against coalition forces, but it requires a non-PC response. If this continues, the Iraqis deserve to understand what losing a war is REALLY about.

Came from the bastion of objective journalism called Reuters. I don't know how it is in Iraq, but I suspect that some Iraqis are still to realise that building their country is their responsibility. Right now it seems that they believe it is a year of Christmas, and the USA is Santa.

stoopid islamic animals, we should pack up and leave em with what they have ungrateful b_____
The capt.

[goldstategop]

Iraqis believe they're welfare recipients and they don't see why they should have contribute to making their own country run. I agree that the sooner we turn the responsibility for their own affairs over to them, the better off we both will be.

[HELLRAISER II]

If Muslims want to make we Americans/Christians the enemy, well I say fight our enemy. If they want the Crusades to continue by attacking and killing Americans, then kill all of those who wish it so.

[Savage Beast]

What poor Fiona can't comprehend is that to these people anyone who doesn't capitulate is "the enemy of Islam".

Would it help to send her a couple of crates of ginkgo biloba? No? I guess you're right. It's going to take a lot more than a couple of crates, all right.

[HELLRAISER II]

In June I hope this is exactly what we do, leave them to fend for theirselves. What a bunch of ungrateful Pr*cks!

[OK]

"Islam rises and falls on Muhammad. He is the doctrine’s sole prophet, its lone founder, its god’s singular conduit. Yet the picture the Islamic scriptures paint is not flattering."
