So much for winning over "hearts and minds".

Yeah, I know, I'm only reading and posting stories that are supporting what I expected to happen all along. But it's not like I'm seeing a flourishing of stories saying how loved we are over there. Of course, if there is any of that going on and it's not being reportted, that's the media's fault. Still, the most I can really remember was some dancing in the streets when that fucking statue came down. If there were any other great displays of affection, some sort of proof that ordinary Iraqis were glad to have us there, you'd think the administration would be putting those on display a little more.
