I'll have you know that our military were, and are, welcomed as liberators, by some Iraqis. All Iraqis? No. But so what? Since when is that the standard for anything?

Some Afghanis welcomed the Soviets too. We know how that turned out.

P.S. Oops, much of #24 was meant for lucysmom. As is:

Ok. Which only goes to show that these informally-gauged off the cuff estimates of "how much they welcome us" per se doesn't really tell us a whole lot.
