I have no clue why anyone would think a corner has been turned.

We must stay the course in Iraq and help the country get off its feet. Sadly, things like this will happen because people hate what America stands for.
"This will continue as long as foreigns try to directly control Iraq."
Typical leftist crap. Profiting off deaths again.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

I think the key to this is how the average Iraqi citizens feels about things, and not what we think about it. Right or wrong, what matters is how they percieve it. Average citizen naturally, rebels and resistance is not something to deal with appeasing.In da butt.

there seems to have been a snowball effect there - it started as more anti-american than most - this in turn led to harsher tactics, and thus more anti-Americanism. at the same time outsiders - both other Iraqis and foreigners - recognize its anti-american, and so people - again both Iraqis and foreigners - who want to kill Americans flock there.Originally posted by GePap

No he's not. Look at the situation as a whole, Iraqi civilians are getting killed too.Originally posted by GePap
