Try not to be too harsh. I know its hard for us to understand why they would demand the allies leave, but remember, they've only recently been freed from a despotic regime. They may remain suspicious of others for quite some time. They don't realize that the allies are just trying to assist in laying the foundation for a democratic society there.

Some see this only in the negative. As time goes on, hopefully they will see that the allies/US are NOT trying to govern their country, only trying to help them get a good foothold before leaving it totally in their hands.

Some of the Iraqis are not as trustful as others, but look at what they have dealt with under Saddam. They have every reason to be cautious.

We have to give them time to see things as they ARE and not as they perceive them. jmo

The harshness of my posts will diminish in direct proportion with and as the number of their bullets aimed at our troops who are there to liberate them.
