The people causing trouble is just a sliver minority of the people, most of the people causing the trouible arent even Iraqi, but Syrian, Saudi, iranian and such.
The media just portrays Iraq as a hellhole ruled by bandits and thugs so they can sell more papers and push their leftist-communist agenda.

You're the greatest. Stick around
I agree. The media is putting the worst spin on the entire situation. I did question whether or not we should have done what we did, then I saw pictures on msn, national geographic, and other services showing entire crowds of Iraqis cheering our troops, smiling, and partying. People who hate what is happening and think an "invasion" is wrong don't do things like that.
I've read far too many account of soldiers telling about the cheering masses of people lining the streets, welcoming the troops to feel that our actions were wrong.
