I'm sure the guy guarding the blockade is angry, but likely he was just blowing off steam. Anyone can read the sign and leave, and they're not going to blow up a car full of kids because it was there for six seconds.

Meanwhile in other parts of Iraq, the civilians are realizing that the troops are there to help, and are treating them as guests.

They are very brave. If Saddam is still alive and America doesn't stay with the Iraqis, that whole region will be liquidated.

actually it reminds me of stories of Vietnam.

Some locals loved Americans there. Some hated them. The trick was to tell the difference.

Clearly you have a security problem - and it's got nothing to do with computers.
