A different reaction from others in Iraq:

No official government statement was released, but Bushra al-Samarai, a member of the Iraqi National Assembly said Iraqis sent their condolences to the American public.
"We are people who love other people, al-Samarai said. We respect [American] feelings and share their sadness over this tragic incident."
National Assembly speaker Gen. Ghalib Jassim also voiced sympathy for the space shuttle tragedy, but with a reminder that Iraq feels under siege from the same stricken America.
"We are friends for the American people, said Jassim, a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo. We don't have anything against the American people as people. The problem is between us and the American administration."
I donâ??t think the Iraqis hate the Americans and wish them harm. Donâ??t support American policies "most likely" especially when they are threatened by an attack. They are ruled by a tyrant that will kill anyone that doesnâ??t agree with him. Do you guys really think that an Iraqi with the right frame of mind will say anything supporting the US to a reporter? If he/she did I wonder how long it takes before Saddam executes that person and the rest of his family.
Iâ??m only asking you guys to see things a little differently, and maybe a different approach can be taken to remove Saddam and spare the the lives of 1000s of innocent people.
