Picked this up off of the AP wire...2/29
"Further south, hundreds of Iraqis rallied against coalition troops Sunday after U.S. soldiers fired on a car that failed to stop when a military convoy passed by. One Iraqi was killed and another critically wounded.
The shooting took place near Rumaythah, 135 miles south of Baghdad near the city of Samawah, where Dutch soldiers and some 230 Japanese troops are based. The soldiers are working to supply Iraqis with clean water, rebuild schools and bolster local hospitals.
Despite not being involved in the violence, the rally caused Japanese commander Col. Koichiro Bansho to cancel his trip to the town.
A crowd gathered around the site of the shooting, where the car sat with its windows broken, chanting "Down with America! Down with Bush!" U.S. soldiers and Dutch marines trying to clear the roadway were pelted with rocks and taunted.
"If these massacres don't stop, we shall fight the Americans!" one unidentified protester yelled. "Why do we have to be nice, to cooperate with them? Why do they do this to us?"
An Associated Press Television News reporter said the crowd's anger was focused on the American soldiers and that Dutch marines ultimately calmed the crowd."
A. With these Terrorists picking off our guys daily who are trying to build water plants, repair electrical systems, refurbish schools
they also have to deal with lunatic mobs who obviously have no grasp of reality.
B. "We shall fight the Americans!!" Oh? you had your chance towelhead and lost. Then...you lost again...Wanna try to go for three straight?
C. It is a wonder we have such great soldiers over there that they have excellent control and don't mow down these arrogant, 15 watt protesters. Can anyone name another army in history that demonstrates such awesome restraint in the face of such swine?
I like the smell of napalm in the morning.
