Originally posted by Dan Nixon: Iraqis, while still greatful for our removing Sadam, are increasing against us because they percieve that we will not leave. But we clearly will (and it is critical that it is percieved to be on our terms). When we DO leave, I predict much of that anti-US sentiment will fade, when it becomes clear that we were not interested in occupation or stealing oil or turning everyone into a Christian.
I completely agree with that. The problem is, as it looks now, if you leave a pro-American gov't behind and pull the troops out, that gov't will fall in a few days. If you let them elect their own gov't, that's gonna be everything but pro-American...
