The vast majority of Iraqis hate the UN. They do not feel the same way about our Coalition forces, in spite of reports to the contrary. They know the UN, like the press, Jordan and most of their Arab neighbors ignored Saddam's atrocities for years and have been making it difficult for our troops to do their work since before the war began.

I doubt the average Iraqi knows or cares much about the UN. A bombing like this can split off our friends from us.Drive them out of Iraq. Well, they may mot be friends but they were there to help and we can use it.

The Iraqis also know that Saddam was our best buddy for years and that we supported his dictatorial murderous regieme and that we helped him stay in power even as he abused, tortured and killed his own people.

"They know the UN, like the press, Jordan and most of their Arab neighbors ignored Saddam's atrocities for years..."

Not to mention the collusion of the UN with Saddam in abusing the oil for food program.
