How on earth would factory workers deaths help the terrorists cause.
The US offers peace, hope, and a future. Al Quada (terrorist) can not. Peace, hope, and a future comes from businesses willing to invest in Iraq's future by bringing jobs to the people. If the people are working and earning a wage, they can have hope and a future. Kuwait is a decent Middle Eastern model.
Terrorist (Al Quada) know that if they can create fear into the Iraqi Police (who gets bombed daily), the Iraqi Soldiers (who get bombed daily), and now the people who just want a regular job that the fear will cause serious problems for the US and the new Iraqi Government.
In the face of all this, you still see Iraqi's lining up to be Police and Soldiers though. I would say that the terrorist are under estimating the Iraqi people. I think that if the terrorist keep hitting the people, the people will turn on them (like Zawarwi).
I think we will clean this up. It will take time and if we stay we'll git r done.

"I have BBC - nothing yet.
That's because their on-site journalists are probably helping the terrorists load the dead bodies into some pit.
Then what were the Reuters jounalists doing?
