I am getting sick and tired of the Iraqi people blaming our soldiers for everything that goes wrong in their messed up country. I am happy they are free but this is getting to be annoying!

Didn't take long at all for their hatred of anything American to override their gratitude for being freed from decades of horrific oppression, eh? Couple of weeks pass and we're blamed for everything and protested against daily as an evil occupying force.

I have a hunch that the media greatly exaggerates the "anger" of the Iraqi people--just like they did with the looting. You might want to call it "wishful reporting."

What do you expect from people who just had their friends, family members and neighbors blown up?...do you expect them to be reasonable and rational about the big picture about how their country is really much better off now?

The Americans are the only authority in the country now...it should be no surprise that they catch blame for something like this.

In any case...outside of the locals who were personally affected by this tragedy....the military says most Iraqis know they are there to help and are grateful.
