Now, of course that probably isnt the view of every Iraqi, but I wonder why these selected few all said the same thing. I wonder if its because America is leading the war and so, there is more hate directed at them, or maybe the British soldiers have more experience with people from the IRA in Ireland.
Whats you opinion?
Do you have a link to a similar article?
What town was it in?
Depending on the town they are walking in that would make the difference.
Honestly I can't tell you why they would say that since I am not over there and I do not see what is going on first hand.
There are a lot of things that could come into play. That area where the reporter walked down could have been an area where US troops were stretched then or have been there for an extended time and that could be a problem with attitude and possibly not being as, dare I say, pleasant to the Iraqi citizens.
And you could be right about them being hated as well. Just depends on the area.
Stumble It!
