<DIV>Doug: "No one said they love "us." But even if it's just one in five Iraqis <BR>who hate the U.S., that's a lot of people who can do a lot of damage. <BR>And if another one or two out of the five don't care much either way, <BR>then they're not going to turn anyone in. From the soldier's point of <BR>view, looking into a crowd where 20% or 40% of the members would like <BR>to kill you, you'd be tempted to shoot randomly, wouldn't you?<BR><BR>Doug"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the Segev book about the British in Palestine, both Arabs and Jews often had very positive views of the British--and both intended, all along, to kick them out by force if necessary---even though the British really did built schools, hospitals, etc. It's like in that Monty Python movie where the guerillas agreed that the Romans had done a lot, and then vowed to boot them. </DIV> <DIV><BR><BR> </DIV><p><hr SIZE=1> Do you Yahoo!?<br> Yahoo!
