Most Iraq's are enjoying their new found freedom. The US and UK (Thanks Tony B! Shout out to James88 & Byett) have been very methodical in their undertakings. There have, and will always be civilian casualties, but very little of it has been because of US "mistakes". There are still a few "cells" (about half of which are from countries' outside of Iraq) who are aligned with radical leaders seeking to undermine US peace keeping efforts. These are soldiers of fortune, hired guns, merceneries...they are the ones who are hunting down and killing Iraqi citizens; they are the ones who ambushed the 50 or so Iraqi soldiers and murdered them, execution style. They are the ones who capture foreigners working to help rebuild Iraq and who they decapitate on video, conveniently smuggled to Al-Jeezera tv.

We will win this war, it will not happen overnight. The first free Iraqi elections are scheduled for January, and the fanatics are doing everything they can to disrupt that as well. They do not want freedom, justice and democracy...to them that is an anathma worse than Communism was to us.
