Well, this is good to see. Hopefully there will be a lot more Iraqis who are happy to see us, so they won't rise up and kill us in a few years. That, of course, will depend on whether or not we stick around to help these people out, unlike some other instances I can think of.

Oh, and don't even get me started on the comment from Lt. Col. Duke Deluca at the bottom of that last link.

Unfortunately, for every story of us being greeted with something besides artillery and disdain, there are the awful stories of people like the poor guy who lost his entire family yesterday thanks to coalition bombing.
