MMM of course I know that most americans are against the war and many US soldiers are good people who really want to help iraqis, but from what I know (and I know that from people who were there) 2/3 of them don't. They call them stupid/dirty/ugly and often laught at them in public, you don't have to know english to understand such things and iraqis understand. Also I heard about things like US soldiers giving iraqis beer out of good will not knowing that alcohol is forbidden for muslims, and therefore offending them. Such situations are very often. Seriously 90% of US soldiers just aren't properly prepared and trained for this mission.

About the infos on the news I think noodle covered it very good. Don't believe in everything you see in TV.
