Anti-American sentiment grows in Iraq holy city
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/GRE165330.htm

NAJAF, Iraq, May 31 (Reuters) - Thousands of leaflets urging Najaf's residents to hand in their weapons litter the street near a U.S. tank parked by the governor's office.

Almost all of them have been ripped up.

"People read the leaflet and get annoyed and then deliberately tear it," said Ahmed Mussawi, a tea boy standing opposite the fortified offices, where flyers not caught on the razor wire flutter in the air.

U.S. troops have been able to move more freely in the holy city's main streets since radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's truce offer last week led to a reduction in violence after almost two months of clashes that killed hundreds of Iraqis.

3. Anti-American sentiment
is growing exponentially around the globe. Everyone who is connected and informed knows the "truce" was just more *MIC duplicity.

Lookee here, kids. You MUST GET IT if YOU PERSONALLY want to survive this *clusterfuck. YOUR *MIC "shocked and awed" a country whose populace is 50% CHILDREN suffering from 12 years of sanctions. All they've done since is RAPE THE CITIZENS OF IRAQ ON BEHALF OF AMERICAN OWNED *CORPORATE ENTITIES, meanwhile fucking over your own kids, economy, reputation etc. et al in the process.

Najaf IS a "flash point" and the *MIC CONTINUES to flick its BIC on the fuse. YOU MUST STOP THEM. NOW. YOUR soldiers are running wild in the streets shooting anything that moves, pillaging, kicking in doors, destroying Grandma's precious heirlooms. WHY? WHY?? WHY???

And still many whine, "Why do they hate us?"

It's because YOU don't give a FLYING FUCK about anyone else.
