I think most Iraqi's aren't too fond of the insurgents (sorry to use such a general term) or the Americans; they're just sick to death of the fighting/death. And when it comes right down to it, the troops down on the street level aren't the ones blowing up market places full of civilians, so I think I'd vying for the lesser-of-evils if I were an Iraqi.

Besides, who says we have to change their whole way of life and thinking? Maybe some administrative officials have delusions of such, but I think a change from dictatorship to democracy will suffice. Iraq has consistantly surpassed Canada and the United States in voter turnout despite threats of being blown up, so they obviously appreciate democracy at least as much as we do. I can't help but admire their commitment to the ideal.:thumbsup:

Mortar and rocket attacks in Baghdad showed a similar pattern, falling to 53 in October from more than 200 in June. US officials said this was in part due to the US troop surge for the capital launched in February. Other reasons Rating: 5
