Remember that a LOT of these people still have every reason in the world to believe they'll be summarily executed if word gets out they so much as smiled at an American soldier.
That's very true, and as an American I feel a bit guilty over what happened after Desert Storm, when they celebrated and tried to rise up against Saddam and most were executed. I hope the ones that remember can forgive us, and I hope that those still afraid of being tortured or executed if they help us will come around and start trusting us.
